Yes, I am using GNOME which is my favourite window style. Do you mean GNOME is heavier than others, such like KDE? If the hung-up is really caused by GNOME, I would consider changing my X window style from GNOME to others. BTW, is it possible to download an upgraded version of GNOME? I still like GNOME...
Thanks.

winop(n) BLT Built-In Commands winop(n)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
winop - Perform assorted window operations
SYNOPSIS
winop lower ?window?...
winop map ?window?...
winop move window x y
winop raise ?window?...
winop snap window photoName
winop unmap ?window?...
winop warpto ?window?
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
The winop command performs various window operations on Tk windows using low-level Xlib function calls to work around window manager pecu-
liarities.
INTRODUCTION
Tk has several commands for manipulating its windows: raise, lower, wm, etc. These commands ask the window manager to perform operations
on Tk windows. In some cases, a particular window manager won't perform the operation as expected.
For example, if you positioned a toplevel window using wm geometry, the window may not actually be at those particular coordinates. The
position of the window may be offset by dimensions of the title bar added by the window manager.
In situations like these, the winop command can be used to workaround these difficulties. Instead, it makes low-level Xlib (such
XRaiseWindow and XMapWindow) calls to perform these operations.
toplevel .top
wm withdraw .top
# Set the geometry to make the window manager
# place the window.
wm geometry .top +100+100
# Move the window to the desired location
# and "update" to force the window manager
# to recognize it.
winop move .top 100 100
update
wm deiconify .top
winop move .top 100 100
OPERATIONS
The following operations are available for the winop command:
winop lower ?window?...
Lowers window to the bottom of the X window stack. Window is the path name of a Tk window.
winop map ?window?...
Maps window on the screen. Window is the path name of a Tk window. If window is already mapped, this command has no effect.
winop move window x y
Move window to the screen location specified by x and y. Window is the path name of a Tk window, while x and y are screen coordi-
nates. This command returns the empty string.
winop raise ?window?...
Raises window to the top of the X window stack. Window must be a valid path name of a Tk window. This command returns the empty
string.
winop snap window photoName
Takes a snapshot of the window and stores the contents in the photo image photoName. Window is the valid path name of a Tk window
which must be totally visible (unobscured). PhotoName is the name of a Tk photo image which must already exist. This command can
fail if the window is obscured in any fashion, such as covered by another window or partially offscreen. In that case, an error
message is returned.
winop unmap ?window?...
Unmaps window from the screen. Window is the path name of a Tk window.
winop warpto ?window?
Warps the pointer to window. Window is the path name of a Tk window which must be mapped. If window is in the form @x,y, where x and
y are root screen coordinates, the pointer is warped to that location on the screen.
[I've never heard a good case for warping the pointer in an application. It can be useful for testing, but in applications, it's
always a bad idea. Simply stated, the user owns the pointer, not the application. If you have an application that needs it, I'd
like to hear about it.]
If no window argument is present the current location of the pointer is returned. The location is returned as a list in the form "x
y", where x and y are the current coordinates of the pointer.
