+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBTk_MaintainGeometry\fR and \fBTk_UnmaintainGeometry\fR make it
+easier for geometry managers to deal with slaves whose masters are not
+their parents.
+Three problems arise if the master for a slave is not its parent:
+.IP [1]
+The x- and y-position of the slave must be translated from the
+coordinate system of the master to that of the parent before
+positioning the slave.
+.IP [2]
+If the master window, or any of its ancestors up to the slave's
+parent, is moved, then the slave must be repositioned within its
+parent in order to maintain the correct position relative to the
+master.
+.IP [3]
+If the master or one of its ancestors is mapped or unmapped, then
+the slave must be mapped or unmapped to correspond.
+.LP
+None of these problems is an issue if the parent and master are
+the same.  For example, if the master or one of its ancestors
+is unmapped, the slave is automatically removed by the screen
+by X.
+.PP
+\fBTk_MaintainGeometry\fR deals with these problems for slaves
+whose masters are not their parents, as well as handling the simpler
+case of slaves whose masters are their parents.
+\fBTk_MaintainGeometry\fR is typically called by a window manager
+once it has decided where a slave should be positioned relative
+to its master.
+\fBTk_MaintainGeometry\fR translates the coordinates to the
+coordinate system of \fIslave\fR's parent and then moves and
+resizes the slave appropriately.
+Furthermore, it remembers the desired position and creates event
+handlers to monitor the master and all of its ancestors up
+to (but not including) the slave's parent.
+If any of these windows is moved, mapped, or unmapped,
+the slave will be adjusted so that it is mapped only when the
+master is mapped and its geometry relative to the master
+remains as specified by \fIx\fR, \fIy\fR, \fIwidth\fR, and
+\fIheight\fR.
+.PP
+When a window manager relinquishes control over a window, or
+if it decides that it does not want the window to appear on the
+screen under any conditions, it calls \fBTk_UnmaintainGeometry\fR.
+\fBTk_UnmaintainGeometry\fR unmaps the window and cancels any
+previous calls to \fBTk_MaintainGeometry\fR for the
+\fImaster\fR\-\fIslave\fR pair, so that the slave's
+geometry and mapped state are no longer maintained
+automatically.
+\fBTk_UnmaintainGeometry\fR need not be called by a geometry
+manager if the slave, the master, or any of the master's ancestors
+is destroyed:  Tk will call it automatically.
+.PP
+If \fBTk_MaintainGeometry\fR is called repeatedly for the same
+\fImaster\fR\-\fIslave\fR pair, the information from the most
+recent call supersedes any older information.
+If \fBTk_UnmaintainGeometry\fR is called for a \fImaster\fR\-\fIslave\fR
+pair that is is not currently managed, the call has no effect.
