When the nanowm window manager runs, it creates an additional

(windows whose parent is root).
I did suppose this.
It uses GrReparentWindow
to cause this new frame window to be the parent of the
user window. Thus, the frame window contains the user
window. You can access this window by getting the parent
window ID of your window.
As I assumed exactly this, I did try this but I seem to have gotten the
ID of the main Window as got an error message that same can't be moved.
I'm going top retry and come back.
The X11 window manager works the same way but additionally
"redirects" window move requests to the frame window by
catching these events and resending them. In general, a
top-level window shouldn't care where it is positioned exactly,
thus normally calls to GrMoveWindow on a top level window
would be considered bad manners...
Unfortunately this is my first meeting with X. I never tried to do
anything with X11 yet, so I don't ave any experience to rely on :(.
Thanks a lot for helping !
