I hope someone has something about this problem] 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. Ray Hill hill@nicmad
