I am currently trying to implement a simple popup menu, using the
X Toolkit and the Athena widget set.

The outline of what I've done is as follows:
   1. XtInitialize the application - calling it toplevel
   2. XtCreatePopupShell an overrideShell, with toplevel as
      its parent.
   3. XtCreateWidget a dialogWidget as the child of the
      popup create before it.
   4. XtCreateManagedWidget some other widgets as children
      of the dialogWidget.

All of this executes fine -- until I attempt to popup the menu.
The following error is issued then:

X Protocool error detected by server: integer parameter out of range
  Failed request major op code 1 X_CreateWindow
  Failed request minor op code 0
  ResourceID 0x0 in failed request
  Serial number of failed request 43
  Current serial number in output stream 53

Any help with this would be appreciated.
Ta,
Vince
