w Specifies the window.

Description

The XReconfigureWMWindow() function issues a ConfigureWindow request on the specified top-level window. If the stacking mode is changed and the request fails with a BadMatch error, the error is trapped by Xlib and a synthetic ConfigureRequestEvent containing the same configuration parameters is sent to the root of the specified window. Window managers may elect to receive this event and treat it as a request to reconfigure the indicated window. It returns a nonzero status if the request or event is successfully sent; otherwise, it returns a zero status.

XReconfigureWMWindow() can generate BadValue and BadWindow errors.

Diagnostics

BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
