Has anyone done drop (& drag) of widgets (or anything...) under MOTIF?

Specifically, I'd like to have objects on screen which I can select w/a
mouse button, drag it around & possibly drop it somewhere, w/the object
underneath being notified.

I've tried using a drawing area w/diff. widgets (label, pushbutton):
I used the translation table/actions to work off of a Button1MotionNotify
event; but they aren't propagated up to the drawing area when I button1
a widget - even though they don't appear to be using that event

 - is there anyway to make a widget insensitive *AND* propagate it's events
   up to the parent?

 - has anyone done something like this?

Thanks,
