|AFAIK you cannot change your gravity unless you unmap your window,

I can't see anything stating this in the ICCCM (it says this explicitly
for WM_CLASS, but nothing in the WM_NORMAL_HINTS section)

Also, xterm seems to temporarily change its gravity to NorthWest while
changing font sizes. E.g. `xterm -geometry -100-100' then use C-button3
to change to the unreadable font, and the top-left corner is anchored,
even though the specified geometry gives it SouthEast gravity..?

thanks.

yes, that works fine,

cheers,
