Expand description

Reparents a window.

Makes the specified window a child of the specified parent window. If the window is mapped, it will automatically be unmapped before reparenting and re-mapped after reparenting. The window is placed in the stacking order on top with respect to sibling windows.

After reparenting, a ReparentNotify event is generated.
