I have a set of routines which I am building which are very application specific and they will deal with the main "window" of my program. But I want to build external dialog boxes out of the toolkit/widget packages distributed with X11. Every example I've seen of widgets seems to indicate that if you use widgets, you have to use them thruout your code starting with the "toplevel" widget. Clearly, I know it's possible to create a window and have other widgets originate under my main window, but I'm not sure the "package" was intended to be used that way. If it wasn't, then I don't want to step on anyone's toes by managing events or windows that the widgets want to manage themselves. The dichotomy of widgets and the lower level routines is not exactly clear to me right now. If the widget package is abstract enough, I should be able to create a window of some sort and manage everything in that window -- then I should be able to create a windget within the window and the server will feed the widget events to the widget and all other events that I request to my routines.
