Hi, I'm programming directly with the Xlib for X Windowing. Is there a way for me to display some sort of "dialog" or "message" box like in Win32 MessageBox? Thanks.

You could call the external 'xmessage' program (not always available, though), but it will look quite ugly. Then again, so does anything done in pure xlib.
