I want to position a widget in the middle of the screen.
  I create a form widget as child of the toplevel widget. How do I get
the size of the form widget for calculating the postition of the
toplevel widget before realizing the toplevel widget.
  I made an
	XtRealize(form);
	/* get geometry stuff */
	XtManageChild(form);
	XtRealize(toplevel);
but I get an Protocol Error on XCreateWindow.

Thanks
  \Maex
