- We are developing a system on a VAXstation 6000 that has 2 screens and
- I am trying to move dialogs (windows) from one screen to another. I have
- been successful when I destroy all of the widgets and rebuild the
- dialog on the second screen, but I would like to use the XReparentWindow
- to avoid all of the logic (and potential problems) with destroying all
- of the widgets. The code I have tried found the window whose parent
- was the root window (using XQueryTree). Once I found that window,
- I got the root window of screen 1 and then called XReparentWindow. The
- documentation claims that if the window is mapped, it will unmap it first
- and then move it as the child of the new window ("root1"). I received
- a BadMatch error when I tried this. Is there any way to make this work?
- Is the window manager getting in the way?

- Help...
