Hi Lee, and Hi all...

   Yep - earlier openMotif (2.23 from Mandriva 2007.1) did the trick.
Those windows come up full-window now - much more sightly and
convenient.
   Now do we suss out why? so newbies like me don't suffer the same
fate?  Amend sources to account for differences, or wiki to point to
workable sources?

Thanks and 73 de ZL2DEX
