The problem is this: Window frame is at 30, 30. Client window is at 38, 38. Now, an external program can acquire the 38,38 with an XTranslateCoordinates to the root window. But if they want to move the window right 1 pixel, well, how do they get the 30, 30? This offset would give them the offset of 8, 8, which they could use to do this. If the external app could change the window's gravity to static, then it would work, but changing other window's gravities isn't very nice. :) Ben -- I am damn unsatisfied to be killed in this way.
