Hi,
I am porting a program developed in X11R4 to one of
our system running X11R3. A part of the program
looks like this:
A form widget contains several command widgets,
when user clik on one of the command widget,
it pops up a pop up window. It works fine
under X11R4, and there seems nothing changed
for creating popup between R4 and R3, so I kept
the codes on this part unchanged. When I run
it, the pop up window does come out, but before
it is shown on the screen, the parent window is
shrunken. I positions all children in parent
(which is a form widget) by setting the constrain
resource value, and I belive the form widget in R3
would behave the same way in R4.
Because my X experience is primary on R4, I could not
figure out this. Anyone have any suggestion on this
problem?
Any help is appreciated!

I belive the form widget in R3
would behave the same way in R4.
A rash assumption, particularly if you're trying for forward
compatibility. Many bugs were fixed in R4.
It's not clear to me which parent you are talking about; is it
the popup shell that has the wrong size, or the original window
containing the command button? The former is probably more
easily explainable than the latter.
