Thanks for the hint. It does look like it is a feature for at
least the linux versions. I'd say it's more a feature of IDL's,
umm, not-so-modern widget library, than it is a X thing though ;-)

Same problem there - I think it is in the dialog_pickfile
implementation itself. Time to give our RSI support friends a
call...

Humm. Dialog_Pickfile appears to be "sticky" on Windows.
Maybe this is an X window thing. :-)

You might try FSC_FileSelect, a file selection compound widget,
found on my web page. There is a little example program at the
end of the file to show you how to use it:

IDL> .com fsc_fileselect
IDL> example

I'm not totally sure how it looks in X windows, but I
haven't had any complaints about it, so... You can find it here:

Cheers,

David
