I think the /widget keyword is doing what I want. I also noticed a slight difference in the appearance of the windows using idlde and just idl from a command line. it looks like running it from a command line automatically opens it up as a widget.
The convert_coord function would work, but another issue is that some people using the software have much smaller monitors than I do, and the images are taking up much more space, which ends up being a problem itself sometimes :)
