Then this is your problem. If you don't return to DispatchEvent the widget is never "freed." Destruction is a two phase process. When you destroy a widget it is marked as being destroyed, and some things are done to it, but the memory occupied by that widget is not freed until the next event is processed. Read the Xt Intrinsics manual (or source ;-) for more detail. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Benjamin Ellsworth | ben@cv.hp.com | INTERNET Hewlett-Packard Company | {backbone}!hplabs!hp-pcd!ben | UUCP 1000 N.E.
