If you want a simple demonstration, undo the change, recompile,
run with fvwm, and play "where did my window go".

Oh yes, I forgot one other ingredient: recompile/relink with lesstif.

Probably the lesstif connexion.

Which brings up a good point: I no longer care about lesstif, so if you find
that motif doesn't want this change, lets undo it.
