Hi all,
      I'm having 3 problems, I wonder if anyone could suggest workarounds
or point me to some example code

XUI toolkit:-

1. Positioning pop-up dialog boxes relative to there parents :-
I do
XtFetchWidget          -gives widget_id
XtSetArgs(al,DwtNx,  )
XtSetArgs(al,DwtNy,  )
XtSetValues(XtParent(widget_id),al,2)

    This moves the popup dialog box ok, but still relative to the root window !
    MOTIF and DECwindows window manager


2. Giving focus to the main window of my application pushes the pop-up dialog
boxes to the bottom of the stack and when they are restacked to the top by my 
mouse button the push buttons inside the dialog boxes are sometimes not re-drawn
!  (DECwindows window manager only )

3. using XMoveWindow on the main application window (to position it on 
application startup) works ok with MOTIF but not with DECwindows window
manager !

	Andy ideas anyone ?
