FVWM: Position of windows

Hi !

While working with Xlib and the fvwm we have the following problem:

        When using the function XGetGeometry() for a specified window,the x- and y- variables
        returned by this function only contain zeros.

                  dpy = (Display *) xv_get (frame, XV_DISPLAY);
                  canvas_win = (Window) xv_get (frame, XV_XID);

                  XGetGeometry (dpy, canvas_win ,&win2,&x,&y,&w,&h,&b,&d);
        
        I am sure to have referenced the correct window, because the other variables
        which are returned from this function e.g. height and widht are correct for
        it. So, I am not able to get the location of the window.
        Who can tell me which structure contains or which function returns the correct
        values for getting the position of the window ?

Thanks.
