You're not doing anything wrong.  You just encountered a nasty bug with
translations.  This bug is not limited to the PushButton widget class,
either.  I posted a response to another question about this last week and
have sent a defect report.  I only posted on motif-talk@osf.org because
that is where the question originated.  In the future, I'll make sure I
post to this group also.

The problem is in the Initialize method of the XmPushButton widget.  If
a translation resource is specified for the widget, neither the Primitive
nor the PushButton translations are merged with your specific translations.
I don't know if this is fixed for 1.1 or not.  The only work around that I
can suggest is to specify the default translations as part of your translation
table.  A list of the default translations for the PushButton widget can
be found in the Motif Reference Manual.
