Aren't the top level windows (which can be moved with window manager) actually 'children' of the RootWindow? (those can be moved,... interactively. In case my assertions are true, it means that one might have to 'write' a children window manager within the application if one wants to place, resize children windows... OR just not have children windows (i.e. make all windows to level windows). The second solution is not too great since I want the children to move,... be visibly bounded by the top window. Anybody can confirm/deny suggest anything to this? thanks
