Use XmMessageBoxGetChild to get the widget IDs of the buttons you want
to get rid of, then unmanage them:  

	cancel_button = XmMessageBoxGetChild(dialog, XmDIALOG_CANCEL_BUTTON);
	XtUnmanageChild(cancel_button);
	ok_button = XmMessageBoxGetChild(dialog, XmDIALOG_OK_BUTTON);
	XtUnmanageChild(ok_button);
	etc.
