no. you can't. there is no foolproof generic way of detecting a widget
irrespective of widget set. you'd need to do hacks in each widget set to do
this. not to mention programs that use other widget sets or don't use them at
all.

first did you flush your x command buffer - XFlush(dsp); or XSync(dsp, False); ?
second. did you get the window id right? ie it was still around? third - was it
managed by the wm? the wm could have it fixed and not allowing resizes (or
swallowed) ?
