My application finds it entirely natural to use XmCreateErrorDialog to
notify the user that "it ain't gonna work."  Since there's nothing
s/he can do but accept this, it seems awfully redundant to me to have
an "OK" button *and* a "cancel" button.  (I am indeed using the
included "help" button.)

Does anyone know how I can get rid of one of those buttons without
building my own popup?  I like the look of the Motif dialog boxes.  I
*really* like not having to build my own..
