	I have a popup dialog box in one of my programs, the code of which
	closely resembles Young's example of a similar dialog box.
	This is the way I do it:

			popup shell
			    |
			    |
			bulletin board
			|      |      |
			|      |      |
	         text edit  button1  button2

	The problem is that the widget doesn't exactly pop up - at least the
	first time it's invoked. I get the little box on the top left corner
	saying "Unnamed window" and I have to click the mouse somewhere on
	the screen (anywhere - surprisingly !!) for the dialog box to appear.
	Things are fine from the second invocation on, and everything else
	works OK, but this is an annoying problem. I'm sure the solution is
	trivial, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. 

	Thanks in advance.

	-Arun
