NAME
     XSetNormalHints, XGetNormalHints - set or get normal state
     hints

SYNTAX
     XSetNormalHints(display, w, hints)
           Display *display;
           Window w;
           XSizeHints *hints;

     Status XGetNormalHints(display, w, hints_return)
           Display *display;
           Window w;
           XSizeHints *hints_return;

ARGUMENTS
     display   Specifies the connection to the XWIN server.

     hints     Specifies a pointer to the size hints for the win-
               dow in its normal state.

     hints_return
               Returns the size hints for the window in its nor-
               mal state.

     w         Specifies the window.

DESCRIPTION
     The XSetNormalHints function sets the size hints structure
     for the specified window.  Applications use XSetNormalHints
     to inform the window manager of the size or position desir-
     able for that window.  In addition, an application that
     wants to move or resize itself should call XSetNormalHints
     and specify its new desired location and size as well as
     making direct Xlib calls to move or resize. This is because
     window managers may ignore redirected configure requests,
     but they pay attention to property changes.

     To set size hints, an application not only must assign
     values to the appropriate members in the hints structure but
     also must set the flags member of the structure to indicate
     which information is present and where it came from. A call
     to XSetNormalHints is meaningless, unless the flags member
     is set to indicate which members of the structure have been
     assigned values.

     XSetNormalHints can generate BadAlloc and BadWindow errors.

     The XGetNormalHints function returns the size hints for a
     window in its normal state.  It returns a nonzero status if
     it succeeds or zero if the application specified no normal
     size hints for this window.
