This is probably a silly question, but when I pop up a shell widget 
with the following code, I have to place it with the the window manager
before it shows up.  I want it to just pop up where ever the cursor is.
What should I be doing differently?

        newshell = XtCreatePopupShell("myshell", shellWidgetClass, w, 0, 0);

        /* ... create some children for the shell ... */

        XtPopup(newshell, XtGrabExclusive);
