x11rb questions

[steady linden]

Hi! I am trying to write a widget system on X11. Right now I managed to get the xid of a gtk4-rs window. However, I don't know how I am supposed to place the window without the interference of the window manager. I am using x11rb. Thank you very much!

I think that's the point of window managers. You can't bypass them universally.

Yeah you can only give a suggestion

Stuff like tiling window managers will force the layout if they want

[heavy rover]

A well behaved wm will allow self governance of a window with the right properties set

Eg _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE

Here's something I did before

I have no idea where I found this info though. The worst part of working with X is its occult tribal knowledge :p
