When I had the following widgets Application Shell BulletinBoard, bb1 DialogShell BullentinBoard, bb2 The bb2 BulletinBoardDialog always gets positioned correctly for the first setting of its x,y coord, but NOT always the second time I try moving it. The "solution", if you want to call it that, was to create bb2 as a BB, not a BBDialog. For beginner Motif programmer's, this problem resulted in much wasted time.... I know, I was warned. Motif is not for average programmers...... Pierre pasturel@sctc.com p.s. Is this Xt problem fixed for ICS OSF/Motif 1.0.3., for 1.1??? When I talked about this problem with someone at ICS, they were unaware of this problem (at that time, I didn't know what the problem was yet, only knew the symptoms).
