X window problem
Hi UNIX guys,
I occasionally meet such problem when I am using my X Window:
The machine suddenly hangs up. Mouse pointer doesn't move, Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't work, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace doesn't work either. I have to turn the power off to reboot.
My machine is like following,
- OS: Red Hat Linux 6.0, kernel-2.2.5-15.i586
- X server: XFree86-SVGA-3.3.6-35.i386
- Display adaptor: SiS 6326 AGP
- Memory: 128MB
- CPU: K6-II 500
I don't think it is a hardware problem / failure. It runs well in Windows 98. Should I download another X server?
Any answer is welcome!
Eddie

Tk_MoveToplevelWindow(3TK) Tk Library Procedures Tk_MoveToplevelWindow(3TK)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
Tk_MoveToplevelWindow - Adjust the position of a top-level window
SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h>
Tk_MoveToplevelWindow(tkwin, x, y)
ARGUMENTS
Tk_Window tkwin (in) Token for top-level window to move.
int x (in) New x-coordinate for the top-left pixel of tkwin's border, or the top-left pixel of the decorative border
supplied for tkwin by the window manager, if there is one.
int y (in) New y-coordinate for the top-left pixel of tkwin's border, or the top-left pixel of the decorative border
supplied for tkwin by the window manager, if there is one.
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
In general, a window should never set its own position; this should be done only by the geometry manger that is responsible for the win-
dow. For top-level windows the window manager is effectively the geometry manager; Tk provides interface code between the application and
the window manager to convey the application's desires to the geometry manager. The desired size for a top-level window is conveyed using
the usual Tk_GeometryRequest mechanism. The procedure Tk_MoveToplevelWindow may be used by an application to request a particular position
for a top-level window; this procedure is similar in function to the wm geometry Tcl command except that negative offsets cannot be speci-
fied. It is invoked by widgets such as menus that want to appear at a particular place on the screen.
When Tk_MoveToplevelWindow is called it doesn't immediately pass on the new desired location to the window manager; it defers this action
until all other outstanding work has been completed, using the Tk_DoWhenIdle mechanism.
