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.

XSetNormalHints()														 XSetNormalHints()

Name
  XSetNormalHints - set the size hints property of a window in normal state (not zoomed or iconified).

Synopsis
  void XSetNormalHints(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 ID.

  hints     Specifies a pointer to the sizing hints for the window in its normal state.

Description
  XSetNormalHints() has been superseded by XSetWMNormalHints() as of Release 4.

  XSetNormalHints()  sets  the XA_WM_NORMAL_HINTS property for the specified window.  Applications use XSetNormalHints() to inform the window
  manager of the size or position desirable for that window.  In addition, an application wanting to move or resize itself should call	XSet-
  NormalHints()  specifying  its new desired location and size, in addition to making direct X calls to move or resize.  This is because some
  window managers may redirect window configuration requests, but ignore the resulting events and pay attention to property changes instead.

  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 on using hints, see Volume One, Chapter 12, Interclient Communication.

	      int y;	/* denominator */
	 } min_aspect, max_aspect;
	 int base_width, base_height;
	 int win_gravity;
     } XSizeHints;	/* new fields in R4 here */

     #define USPosition    (1L << 0)	/* user specified x, y */
