supporting non-rectangular windows

[Prasanta Sadhukhan]

Thanks for the pointer. I saw that the example use widget API through
XCreateManagedWIdget APIs.
Are this required to use the shape extension API to work?

I wanted to use the shape API without this if possible. I tried a small
example of creating a circular window which will have 2 diagonal line in it
and the window should close when any button is pressed inside it. Attached
is the c program I tried but it is not creating any window and is hanging
inside XNextEvent() call
Can anyone please point to me as to what is wrong in this program. I am a
newbie to X-programming

Also, one more question regarding events is
what difference does it make if we call XSelectInput or XShapeSelectInput?
Do we always need to use XShapeSelectInput if we have set a shape on the
window? Or are there cases in which we would want to use XSelectInput with a
shaped window?

Thanks in advance
Prashant
