Please, X-gurus:   HOW TO KEEP POP-UPS ON TOP ?
  We run X11R4 with the 'twm' window manager.  I'm writing an application with
lots of pop-up windows.  But 'twm' seems to be able to restack windows so that
my application's main window can actually HIDE its own pop-ups.  
  This is very confusing to the users, who wonder why the program has hung,
with a waiting pop-up window buried and hidden under the main program window.

How do I force pop-ups to always stack ON TOP OF the main application window ?
  * can I do something from my application program ?  (If so, what ??)
  * otherwise, can I give some command to  'twm' ?    (if so, which ??)

THANK YOU !!!  ==>  please use email (glenn@dit.lth.se), I will summarize
  if there is interest.
