: Help: I am running some sample problems from O'Reilly volume 4,
: Xt Intrisics Programming Manual, chapter 3. popup
: dialog boxes and so on.
: 
: In example 3.5, page 76 : "Creating a pop-up dialog box"
: 
: The application creates window with a button "Quit" and "Press me".
: The button "Press me" pops up a dialog box. The strange feature of
: this program is that it always pops up the dialog box much faster the
: first time. If I try to pop it up a 2nd time (3rd, 4th .... time), 
: it is *much* slower.
: 
: Has anyone any experience with these sample programs, or why I get
: this behaviour - fast response time for the first time but slow response
: time from 2nd time onwards ?
: Anyone can give me some ideas on how to program popups so that each time
: they popup in reasonable fast response time ?
: 
: Thankyou - Shirley

Thanks to those who responded.

We were able to prevent this behaviour by two methods:

1) running twm rather than olwm
2) keeping olwm, but putting "wmTimeout: 10" in the resources

It has been suggested that the difficuty was something to do with the
window manager positioning the popup window. Any guru who can analyse
what is going on from this information, please post and let us know.
