-According to the ICCCM, applications should not see unnecessary differences
-between running with or without a window manager. Therefore window movements
-for already mapped windows, such as ones requested by XMoveWindow(Display,
-Window, X, Y) have to move the window Window to the coordinates (X, Y) and not
-cause the window's window manager frame window to end up at (X, Y).  
+Window manager implementors should refer to the ICCCM for definitive
+specifications of how to handle MapRequest and ConfigureRequest events.
+However, since these aspects of the ICCCM are easily misread, this
+document offers the following clarifications:

+Applications are free to change their win_gravity setting at any time
+		</para>
+		<para>
+If application changes its gravity then Window manager should adjust the
+reference point, so that client window will not move as the result.
+For example if client's gravity was NorthWestGravity and reference point
+was
+at the top-left corner of the frame window, then after change of gravity to
+the SouthEast reference point should be adjusted to point to the
+lower-right
+corner of the frame.
