Try this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

static Widget topLogon ;
static Widget topLevel ;

main()
{

    topLevel = XtInitialize(argv[0], class, NULL, 0, &argc, argv);

	topLogon = XtCreateApplicationShell ("Xapp",
			topLevelShellWidgetClass, 0, 0) ;

	/* Do more stuff, presumably to put widgets in topLogon */

	XtRealizeWidget (topLogon) ;


}

/* Sometime later after topLogon realized and iconified this is called */
/* It won't hurt anything if topLogon is already deiconified ...       */
/* I don't know what will happen if topLogon is not realized ...       */

void
logonMap (w, client, call)
    Widget w ;
    void * client ;
    void * call ;
{
    XMapWindow (XtDisplay (topLogon), XtWindow (topLogon)) ;
}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

XMapWindow is probably all I needed to tell you, I hope this clarifies it.
I think I first saw this in the FAQ in comp.windows.x, there's lots of useful
stuff there (as there is in the comp.windows.x.motif FAQ).

This probably works for the topLevel widget too, but I haven't tried it
with that one. (I only included it in the example so you wouldn't think I was 
crazy not doing XtInitialize).

Hope this helps
