[comp.windows.x.motif] ArrowButton widgets weird behaviour

Ok, here is one for the OSF guys or anyone else...
I have two arrow button widgets, one with XmARROW_UP and XmARROW_DOWN
directions specified on creation.  They call the same callback on
XmNactivateCallback
resource.   In the callback, I use XtVaGetValues to get the XmNarrowDirection
value
for the widget that did the callback.  Whenever I switch to the other arrow,
regardless
of whether it is the up arrow to the down arrow or vice versa, I get back
garbage as
a value.  It doesn't matter if I use XtGetValues either.  It seems like when it
gets focus,
it calls the activate routine and I get garbage becase the next activate on the
same widget
seems to work fine...just when I switch widgets.????

I am using MOTIF 1.1 on VMS 5.4
