Move a window

[Steven J Abner]

Please, I'm begging for help! After over a month of finding a kernel 
bug, building Xorg/mesa from scratch, rewriting code, to eliminate this 
bug or secret, I've created a program to demonstrate.

I need the secret handshake or password to get any window manager, 
except the great! twm to run this.

To build:
gcc -ansi -pedantic -Wall -g -o xmove xmove.c -lxcb

To run for bare xorg:
with no-wm either in xinitrc:
cd <where built>
./xmove
or with xterm:
exec $xterm -geometry 120X62+850+0 -name login
and from xterm:
cd <where built>
./xmove

with twm:
$twm &
exec $xterm -geometry 120X62+850+0 -name login
and from xterm:
cd <where built>
./xmove

from any OS with (arrrg) window manager: use console, not xinitrc

Don't say _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE because it doesn't work on every window 
manager.
And on the 3 tested this 'grab' won't work. It has confines placed on 
it from moving past edges or 'STRUT's where cursor gets separated from 
drag point (mouse location).
PS freedesktop link from EWMH doesn't work, not that the managers 
follow, and I don't expect a reply from stack exchange.
