well you never said what you WANTED to achieve - just some code and complaints
of it only working in twm. you just want it to run. it runs. what do you want
it to do and what do you EXPECT it to do or be able to do.... i can read the
code and see you expect to click in the window, drag it and release the mouse
click and the window moves/follows... i don't know.. is that what you expected?
expected something else? what is your problem?
