Suppose your application is called "foo" and the popup window is
called "baz", try setting the resource: "foo.baz.title: My Title"
and see if you get one.

Not quite.  It means that the window manager won't attempt to modify
the geometry request for the window creation.  For instance, all the
dialog boxes I get under mwm have the standard window decorations.  If
under mwm you don't want the decorations, you can always set the
*clientDecorations resource.  (I think you can also call some
MwmMondoHugoLongFunctionName to get the job done as well...)
