[comp.windows.open-look] window update problem

I have written an xview application that is having screen update problems.
Without going into too much detail, I have 3 canvases and a hierarchy of
menus that need to be updated when the user does a particular action. The 
canvases work great. I draw in them using standard X calls and use an XFlush
to make sure they update.
	The menus are a different story. As soon as I pin one of them up, all
updates (even to the canvases) stop until there is another event. Even if I
do an XFlush or even an XSync. I am using xv_set to change the menu strings.

If the menus are not pinned (not visible) everything updates fine, if they
are pinned (visible) nothing updates until there is another event, even
though I do an XFlush or an XSync.

	Any opinions, suggestions, etc. will be appreciated.
