But I am still confused. The XtIntrinsic manual (pg. 45) describes TransientShell widgets as follows: "Used for shell windows that can be manipulated by the window manager but are not allowed to be iconified separately ... They are iconified by the window manager only if the main application shell is iconified." Donna Converse writes: >Separately iconifying a transient window is not prohibited by the ICCCM. >Whether it is allowed is an issue of window manager policy, implying that >the application can't prevent the transient from being separately iconifed. Does this imply that transient windows can be iconified seperately even when the main shell is not iconified? I was expecting the following behavior from Transient shells: 1. When the main application is iconified, the transient shells get iconified automatically. 2. Cannot be iconified in any other way except as in 1. I am unable to get this behavior (I corrected the XtGrabKind; thanks). Your help is greatly appreciated. Manoj Hardikar mhardik@cadev4.intel.com
