Hi, 

I am porting a program developed in X11R4 to one of
our system running X11R3.  A part of the program 
looks like this:

     A form widget contains several command widgets,
     when user clik on one of the command widget,
     it pops up a pop up window.  It works fine 
     under X11R4, and there seems nothing changed
     for creating popup between R4 and R3, so I kept
     the codes on this part unchanged.  When I run
     it, the pop up window does come out, but before
     it is shown on the screen, the parent window is 
     shrunken. I positions all children  in parent
     (which is a form widget) by setting the constrain
     resource value, and I belive the form widget in R3 
     would behave the same way in R4.

Because my X experience is primary on R4, I could not
figure out this.  Anyone have any suggestion on this
problem?

Any help is appreciated!
