	R3/Motif 1.somethingorother on AIX3.1.5/IBM RS/6000-530:

	I'm not using interactive placement and setting
	XmNdefaultPosition to False doesn't give the results desired either.
	I've tried all sorts of combinations,
	even tried unmapping the window, managing, setting the position
	and mapping, still sucks.
	If the dialog is up and I try invoking it again
	(with the button that activates it) it finally goes where it should,
	not satisfactory.
	Hmmm, maybe if you unmap it, manage it twice...

	Also so since I'm whining, I've never been able to get rid
	of decorations on a toplevel at execute time.
	(using mwm* resources in .Xdefaults doesn't count for this)
	This has also been discussed a lot and I think I've tried
	all the suggestions.

	I suppose most likely both of these things are broken...
