1813.0. "Problem getting Right X and Y of a window" by BEDTIM::COPPOLA (Lost in the Bitmap) Wed Nov 29 1989 14:34

Hi,

	Since I can't seem to get to DECWindows_Programming Conf.  I'll try
my question here.   The problem is I have a window that I create and it is
displayed at 0,0 which is where I want to start and I resize the height of the
window about in half.  I go get the X and Y by  setting up and calling
XtGetValues.  My problem is the Y value never reflects the new location.  This
is only if I keep X at 0 and do a resize on the very first window I have brought
up.  Once I move it from the edge and do a resize, the X and Y are normal.

Below is a sample of my code.  My question do I need to do something else after 
the first resize?

	Thanks in Advance for your Time and Advice...
