[Qt-interest] Re : Anyone Using the Qt/Motif Extension

[Jake Colman]

Guys,

Hmmmm.  This seems to work.  But it irks me greatly that I have to
manually reposition my QMessageBoxes and QDialogs when it should be able
to center itself automatically!  If the parent is a Qt Widget this works
fine, no?  So it's only a problem if the parent is a QtMotifWidget.?
