Maybe this is a bug, maybe it ain't. I have the following situation: uwm is selecting SubstructureRedirect on the root window, which works fine for finding out when windows need to get mapped and such.. However, once I start reparenting windows to windows that uwm creates (title bar frames), I lose the ability to find out when they are destroyed. I stop getting destroy events on the root window (which makes sense), but selecting StructureNotify on the client window doesn't seem to work either. I've also tried doing a SubstructureRedirect on the title bar frame, but that *really* bitches things up. I have not yet figured out why. To sum up what I want to do: I want to detect whenever a window is mapped/destroyed/configured at the root level (for non-title bar mode and icons). I want to reparent a window at will and still get this information, but now relative to the title bar "frame" window. What should I select and on whom? Any clues? What am I doing wrong? uwm with title bars and all the other nifty features *almost works* but for this irritiating problem. Jordan Hubbard jkh@violet.berkeley.edu
