>>>A closer look at olwm reveals that it is looking at an _OL_WIN_ATTR window >>>property to set the decorations (see pages 70-72 of OLIT Widget Set >>>Programmer's Guide).

That's It!!! In our event loop we check for any modal dialogs we may have poped-up. If we have one up then we make sure It is raised to the top of the window stack. we were raising it over the option menu. This problem does not happen when we are using twm or mwm.
