This problem did exist for a while in my code before R3, I had thought that I
fixed it, but perhaps it still persists.  I have made billions and billions of
changes to xman and the Athena Widgets since R3, and haven't noticed this
problem on any of out machines around here, so I suspect that it has gone away.

If I remember correctly the problem was poor interaction between the List widget
and the VPaned widget.  It is probabally best just to wait for R4 when this
problem should magically go away. (I hope :-)  If anyone can nail down exactly
what is causing the problem I can give a more definite answer.
