============================================================

Could anyone familiar with Motif suggest solutions to the following:

	1) What is the best method for executing A Motif program
	   (ie: designed to run under 'mwm') such that the user 
	   is completely protected from the operating system and logs 
	   directly into the application. 

	   Is there a 'proper' way to do this ? The application is running
	   under Interactive Unix. At present it is single user. 


	2) In relation to the above, is there a way to force the 'maximize'
	   icon/button available in the application's top level shell to be 
	   exectued at runtime.  Presently the program is run, then the 
	   maximise button 'clicked' - this is pretty tacky. I am aware that 
	   the width and height values can be set but the specification of 
	   the 'maximize' perhaps in the .Xdefaults file would be neater.

	3) Is anyone aware of any commercially available C++ interfaces to
	   Motif ?

Any responses would be appreciated - please mail me directly.
