I am using HP OSF/Motif on a HP 9000/800 system. I have a few problems:

1) I want to create a modal FormDialog that pops up and
   disables the main application until it is closed down.
   I have tried using the XmCreateFormDialog() function and this
   creates a modeless dialog? Is there any way in Motif to do this?

2) The manual specifies that this FormDialog should always be iconified
   together with the toplevel window. This does not work when using R4
   twm but (of course) when I use the Motif windowmanager mwm.
   Why is this so? Does Motif require more than a ICCCM compatible
   windowmanager?
