Is there a way in the athena widget set to create several widgets that are direct children of the root window? I am trying to create several separate widgets that are under the control of the window manager, and I can only get the toplevel widget to do that. Any Suggestions? Thanks in advance. -Rich rmartin@topaz.rutgers.edu

XtCreatePopupShell() should do the trick. Popup Shells are, by definition,
children of the root.
For an example, take a look at the client application "xman" provided on the R4
core distribution.
