This is probably a silly question, but when I pop up a shell widget
with the following code, I have to place it with the the window manager
before it shows up. I want it to just pop up where ever the cursor is.
What should I be doing differently?
newshell = XtCreatePopupShell("myshell", shellWidgetClass, w, 0, 0);
/* ... create some children for the shell ... */
XtPopup(newshell, XtGrabExclusive);

I want it to just pop up where ever the cursor is. You should use an override shell instead of a simple shell if you want to (anti-socially) avoid the window manager. Use the XtNx and XtNy resources to get it to appear at a particular position (relative to the root window). -- Ken Lee Daisy Systems Corp., Interactive Graphics Tools Dept.

Most window managers will also popup transientShell's where you ask then to be popped up. The ICCCM requires that transients be placed without user interaction. If you want to know whether to use a transientShell or an overrideShell take a look at section 4.1.2.6 in the ICCCM. It is pretty exclicit about the type that you should be using. Chris
