When i set a group leader and set the floating keyword i would expect
that the new widget would be in the center of the group leader. It is
not. The top left hand corner of the widget is in the center! If the
offset keywords are set they just move it from the top left of the
screen. Anyone know how to make a widget appear in the exact center of
it's group leader?

You can download the files POS_WIDGET.PRO and POS_WIDGET.DOC from
my anonymous ftp site:
bial8.ucsd.edu pub/software/idl/share
This routine makes it very easy to position widgets based on their
group leader, and offers a variety of options. Even if you don't
want to use it, it is a good example of how to position widgets.
Hope this helps, and I hope you've learned something about 'netiquette'
in the process.
