Stuart) 1) how to specify that a popup open at a pixel location defined in my program. Arrange, through one of the several methods, that your resource database contain a .geometry resource for the popup shell, or use XtSetValues to assign the XtNgeometry resource. 2) how to set the colormap with a toolkit application. I have tried using the XAllocColor macro to change the default colormap, but my program core dumps when it hits Mainloop(). XAllocColor isn't likely to be the cause of this. In R2 there is no convenient way to give a private colormap to a widget, so using the DefaultColormapOfScreen() is the easiest way to go. (You _could_ get away with using Xlib calls on the window(s) after realizing them..) In R3, all widgets will have an XtNcolormap resource.
