Another Xtk Problem or Limitation:
----------------------------------

1.	Is there anyway to find the size the Athena "form" widget will become 
	before it is realized?

2.	Is there anyway to move a "transient shell" widget after it has been 
	realized? (or popped up once?)

	It seems impossible to center a "transient shell" widget on the screen 
with the existing widgets. My "transient shell" widget has a "form" widget as a
child. I can't get the size of a "form" widget until after its realized and I 
can't position the "transient shell" widget after its realized. So how can an 
arbitrary "transient shell" widget be centered on the screen or over a 
particular widget?

	Thanks.
