Well, an int had to be passed in a variable that was declared as a pointer, 
so it was just getting its original size back. Having a 32-bit system, I 
don't get these warnings. But I think they should be solved now, by doing 
two-step casting, first to an integer the size of a pointer.

I did some more work on the -stickyWindows: touching auxiliary windows now 
also adapt their size and position to size changes of the main window (due 
to variant change). New version is now both at hgm.nubati.net and the GNU 
Savannah website.

OK, so I understand that this actually is a feature. Now that the auxiliary 
windows follow the displacement of the main window this is not so annoying 
anymore.
