Running the DECburger example I can see that the popup_dialog_box (order entry) gets iconified once the main window is iconified. In note 900 of this conference I was told that the popup dialog box has its own (hidden) shell. I thought that the "iconify event" has an effect only on the widgets belonging (because of a XtManageChild) to the shell where this event happens. The DECburger example tells me that I'm wrong. Which is the condition under which a popup dialog box gets iconified once the main window in another shell is iconified? Hope the question is clear. Thanks, Matteo

There is a window manager feature which allows you to associate groups
of windows together to iconify as a group. See the WM_TRANSIENT_FOR
property for more information.
If you are using the toolkit, you set this by changing resources of the
shell widget (see the Toolkit Reference Manual). If you are using Xlib,
you set this via XSetTransientForHint.
