I am having trouble with transient shell widgets. I am able to iconify them
separtely even when the parent is not iconified. I am creating and mapping
the pop up widget as follows:

>    popup= XtCreatePopupShell("transient_popup",transientShellWidgetClass,
				parent,NULL,0);

>    label= XtCreateManagedWidget("transient",labelWidgetClass,
			    popup,NULL,0);

>    XtPopup(popup,XtCallbackNone);


I am running XNeWS (pre FCS) on SUN 386i. I have tried this with uwm and
twm and have got the same behavior. What am I missing? 

A note in the ICCCM manual (page 32) says: 

"Window managers are free to decide if WM_TRANSIENT_FOR windows should be
iconified when the window they  are transient for is. Clients displaying
WM_TRANSIENT_FOR windows which have the window they are transient for
iconified do not need to request that the same operation be performed on
the WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window; the window manager will change its state if
that is the policy it wishes to  enforce" 

Does this have anything to do with the problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
