I want to have a little popup window with a message telling the user to wait a second. So, I create a transient application shell (with override redirect), and have a form widget with a label widget in it. The problem is that the text does not appear until I am about to destroy it (i.e. if I comment out the call to destroy it, I will see the text, otherwise I'll only see a blank rectangle). I'd guess that it doesn't refresh until it gets back to XtMainLoop(). Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem is and how I could get the text to show up immediately? I realize that I could use a dialog widget, but (on general principles) I'd like to get this working first. Thanks for any information. --Frank Adelstein frank@cis.ohio-state.edu
