1. The GUI has a set of buttons which invoke popup control
displays. I would like to set X resources for geometry
so that the user doesn't have to position the popup's
every time, but I don't know the path to specify. For
the example in the excerpt, I have tried:
*w.geometry: -20+70
*w*geometry: -20+70
*popup.geometry: -20+70
*popup*geometry: -20+70
I have tried to find the answer in Ousterhout's book, but
no luck. Anyone know what I should be using?
2. The top level of the GUI consists of a buttons which I would
like to be able to organize into 2 rows. As shown in the
excerpt, I tried placing each row into a Frame widget. The
two Frame widgets were packed with side=top, and the Button
widgets inside each Frame with side=left. Result is a
single long row of buttons. I tried moving the creation
and packing of the second row Frame immediately after
the first row frame, which resulted in no change.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help you can furnish.
