Subject: transientShellWidget iconification?

The R3 docs indicate that transientShellWidgets
	"can be manipulated by the window manager but
	 are not allowed to be iconified separately...".
This does not seem to be the case under 'uwm'.

The problem is that the transientShells are positioned
not by uwm asking the user, but automatically using the
XtNx & XtNy values. They ALSO are able to be iconified
individually.

What I'm doing is the following:
I create a top level shell using XtCreateAppShell, passing
'applicationShellWidgetClass'. Then I make a formWidget
as its child, and then some sub-children.

Finally I call XtCreatePopupShell, passing
'transientShellWidgetClass', with its parent being the
top level shell. (i also tried using the formWidget as
its parent without difference). XtPopup maps the window.

Any clues?
