I am using Wcl with Motif 1.1, and am having problems specifying the location of popups. My current approach is: 1. set the x and y resources of the popup using WcSetValueCB 2. Use WcPopupCB to display the popup Setting the x and y resources does not seem to have an effect on the default behavior which seems to be to center the popup on the current cursor location. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Peter

If your popup is a subclass of XmBulletinBoard (as are the Motif dialogs), then the XmNdefaultPosition resource is probably controlling your popup position: when set to True (the default) the popup is centered over the parent of the popup. If you set it to False, the x and y relative to the root window coordinates will generally be used, though I don't think that is guaranteed.
