   I have written a simple popup menu implementation but right now it is
painfully slow.  I'm sure it's because I shouldn't be using XtPopup to
popup the menu shells since this function realizes the shell widget even
if it has been realized in advance.

   My question is - if I create my own popup action that does everything
that XtPopup does except realize the shell widget, how can I set the
popped_up and spring_loaded fields in the widget record correctly? There
doesn't seem to be any simple way to do this.

   Better still - how can I continue to use XtPopup without it re-relizing
the menu shells everytime the user wants to see the menu?

Thanks in advance for responses.

-Sherman.
