When the application starts, the application main window is placed interactively (it's attached to the cursor), since mwm*interactivePlacement is true. Unfortunately, all dialog pop-ups come up initially smack dab in the middle of the main window. I've read through the mwm and FormDialog (and superclasses) man pages and can't find any resource that seems to control this behavior. Where am I going wrong? Another problem I'm having is trying to ever get the application's main window to stack above the various pop-ups that are visible. Is there a way to do it? Perhaps there's a different top-level widget I should be using than a FormDialog? Thanks, -- Skip (montanaro@crdgw1.ge.com)
