</P

</P

><P
>Applications are free to change their win_gravity setting at any time
</P
><P
>If application changes its gravity then Window manager should adjust the
reference point, so that client window will not move as the result.
For example if client's gravity was NorthWestGravity and reference point
was
at the top-left corner of the frame window, then after change of gravity to
the SouthEast reference point should be adjusted to point to the
lower-right
corner of the frame.
</P

MUST be the top-left corner of the client window in relation to the
origin of the root window (i.e., ignoring win_gravity) [2]
</P
></LI

><P
>XMoveWindow(w,x,y) behaviour depends on the window gravity. Upon receiving a
request from client application the Window Manager calculates a new reference
point, based on the client window's own size, border width and gravity. For given client
window dimentions (width, height) and border width (bw), the reference point will be
placed at:
