I think XFlush() must be treated differently from other requests (doesn't have 
to go the the buffer), because if it does then how can it flush the buffer ?

I tried to add XFlush() after XtSetValues() to my Message procedure, 
but it remains the SAME. Only the last message I saw on the window.
Any other suggestion ?
