Hello, I've run into a problem: As I have too much autoraise windows under twm (but they are really nice !), I run into problems when tools pop up small windows which are over an autoraise window, as I either must iconize these autoraise windows or else turn the autoraise feature off to reach the popup window. The xcal tool that came across comp.sources.x is such a tool. Now I tried to modify xcal in such a way that the pointer is always positioned on the popup windows (which contain calendars for one month each). My problem is the following: How and when can the actual screen position of the new widget be found? I tried to use XtGetValues, but even afer a call to Xsynchronize(display, True) the returned values for x and y position of the widget are empty (i.e. Position 0). This query is the last action in the callback routine for the creation of the popup window. Any ideas ? Thanks a lot Norbert ******************************************************************************* * Norbert Kiesel Institut f.
