I am using the Athena widgets under X11 for a tool that displaysa graphical
representation of memeory access patterns on a shared memory system.  The 
problem is that when I try to change label widgets when graphics are being
displayed the labels simply disappear from the screen.  If no graphics
are being displayed, there is no problem.  This does not make sense to me
because the code being used to change labels is the same whether graphics
are being used or not. My code for changing labels is as follows:

    Arg args[1];
    XtUnmanageChild(item);
    args[0].name = XtNlabel;
    args[0].value = (XtArgVal) string;
    XtSetValues(item, args, XtNumber(args));
    XtMapWidget(item);
    XtManageChild(item);

Also, the graphics being drawn are just rectangles  and are done with
this code:

  XSetForeground(display, gc, my_color_map[color]);
  XFillRectangle(display, surface, gc, x1, y1, x2, y2);
  if (x_batch_off)
    XFlush(display);

I would appreciate any help,
