XSetWMNormalHints()													       XSetWMNormalHints()

Name
  XSetWMNormalHints - set a window's XA_WM_NORMAL_HINTS property.

Synopsis
  void XSetWMNormalHints(display, w, hints)
	Display *display;
	Window w;
	XSizeHints *hints;

Arguments
  display   Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDisplay().

  w	    Specifies the window.

  hints     Specifies the size hints for the window in its normal state.

Availability
  Release 4 and later.

Description
  XSetWMNormalHints()  sets the size hints in the XA_WM_NORMAL_HINTS property on the specified window.	The property is stored with a type of
  WM_SIZE_HINTS and a format of 32.  XSetWMNormalHints() supersedes XSetNormalHints().	This property can  also  be  set  with	XSetWMProper-
  ties().

  Applications use XSetNormalHints() to inform the window manager of the sizes desirable for that window.

  To  set  size  hints, an application must assign values to the appropriate elements in the hints structure, and also set the flags field of
  the structure to indicate which members have assigned values and the source of the assignment.  These flags are listed  in  the  Structures
  section below.

  For more information, see Volume One, Chapter 12, Interclient Communication.
