DESCRIPTION
       When client window is mapped on screen - Window Manager draws some
       frame decorations around it, such as Titlebar, resize handles, etc. As
       such decorations take additional space, it is nesseccary to specify if
       resulting larger window should be moved on screen in any particular
       direction in order to compensate for discrepancy in size. This is
       determined by Gravity hint.

       Usually Gravity is set by client itself, depending on geometry
       specified by the user. For example geometry -10+100 will set gravity to
       NorthEast, while +10+100 will set gravity to NorthWest. Sometimes this
       gravity setting requested by application is incorrect though, due to
       longstanding tradition of misinterpretation of its meaning. In this
       cases it may be desired to override gravity. AfterStep users can
       accomplish that using database file, and definig new Style for specific
       application with Gravity attribute set. For example it is recommended
       to set gravity of popular image viewver XV to be Static, as it tends to
       move self assuming that it knows everything.

       Below are the list of possible gravity values with explanation of its
       meaning.
