Well, I don't know the answer but when you find it I would like to hear.
I have developed a word processor under X, and my first incarnation of the
Widget hierarchy had the text widget as the main window. I discarded this
since I needed multiple fonts and reasonable performance. But, I also had
the _doit_ flag set to false since I wanted to handle certain events myself,
and had the annoying beep. I always assumed that I had some resource and/or
callback structure element set incorrectly, but after many hours of searching,
finally gave up due to the "Motif (lack of)documentation blues". About
the Young book, be careful, as there are numerous errors and omissions therein.
Good luck.
