Is there any way to get rid of the "_popup" that is appended to all Dialog Box names in Motif. We are using Motif 1.1.1 and the dialogs are created in UIL. The dialogs are fetched using MrmFetchWidget. The title of the dialog is set as the argument to MrmFetchWidget. Any ideas on how I can get rid of this nuisance? thanks, ...Martin -- ============================================================================== Martin J.

If you are creating an XmFileSelection- Dialog, this wouldn't help :-) - Just another bug in Motif! Insted you should create an XmDialogShell, giving this shell the title, and than insert an XmFileSelectionBox into that.

> much better. I think I regard this new behaviour as a bug.
If you use the widget name for the title you have two problems. One you
end up with two widgets with the same name (the bb and the dialog shell), so
you can't specify the resources separately. Two you end up with a name
that's hard to specify in the resources file. (Consider a dialog entitled:
"Poste - Quit Dialog" in a resource file.) I think the use of the widget
name as the title was a cute hack, but not really proper.
