OK I think I see a way to get the functionality I want using the 
gravity.  Thanks for the help.  I have one or two other questions 
related to this   I would also like to have this work in gtk+ 1.2. I 
don't see any functions to set the gravity, Do I need to use the Xlib 
API to do this.  Also I want to keep my window out from under the panel, 
could the root window prop GNOME_PANEL_DESKTOP_AREA work for this.
