XLib Resource/Window creation problem

[SilverWarior]

I might know what your problem is. I reread your first post a few times and if I understand you correctly you don't encounter problems when you have Metacity running. Now based on Wikipadia Metacity is default Window manager used in Gnome 2 Desktop enviroment but it was replaced with Mutter in Gnome 3.

Cinnamon uses Muffin which is a fork of Gnome 3 Mutter Windows manager.

So all of your problems might be the result of changed default Window manager which probably requires a different code to work.

That does make sense - which means I might be doing something that only metacity allows and other WMs do not... Thus, once I finish the rewrite of the code and get it working, I'll do a quick compare to see whats throwing things for a loop.
