I am using Debian 3.1R3 with KDE, i try to use XCreateWindow to create
a window with a startup position 100,100, it is not working, the window
init position at 0,0
how to?

hello

I remember, that the position values you specify in XCreateWindow () are
ignored by the most window managers. Because they have the control about
where and how to position windows.

btw: there exist a group called : comp.os.linux.x
