    Hi,

    I have some forms (created with fl_bgn_form() ...)

    Th eproblem is that I want to parent certain forms to other forms, so that, for
    example, the child form will never be obsecured by the parent form.

    I've searched the manual http://www.geocities.com/dan_aceja/xforms.html, and
    I'm not seeing any references in the xforms library as to how to make a form a
    child of another widget.

    I'm looking at XReparentWindow() as a possible way of re-parenting a form after
    the fact, but I was hoping that the create form process would accept a widget
    to be used as the parent.

    any way (within xforms) to parent a form ?

    -Greg
