All those geometry calls just pushed the window around the
screen.

| I took his suggestion, and Tk (3.6) definitely accesses the resource,
| but doesn't do what I want. Basically, I would like to position
| a popup window using an X resource. I used the following in my resource
| file:
|
| *jtcontrol.geometry: -20+70
|
| I know that Tk is seeing it, because it gives me the following error message:
|
| TclError: bad geometry "-20+70": expected widthxheight
|
| I tried adding a WxH field, even though I didn't want one. Result was that
| there was no more error message, but the geometry was completely ignored
| by the program.
|
| Is there a way to do this? I.e. to pre-position a popup on the screen?
|
| Thanks.
