I had the same problem, with a pushbutton in a
bulletin board dialog.  My workaround was to put
the pushbutton in a row column widget (even 
though it was just one button).  It's a mystery
to my as to why it behaves this way, I'm just
hoping it's fixed in 1.1.

I have a pushbutton within a form within a dialog shell. When I push the
button, not only does it call the callback that I have added, but it also
exits the whole dialog! I presume it unmanages it but I don't know. The 
bulletin board doco says that it defines Btn1Down as Arm() and Btn1Up
as Activate() but that doesn't help me much. I want the dialog to stick
around until I tell it to go.

I have discovered the following workaround: use XtRemoveAllCallbacks
on XmNarmCallback and XmNdisarmCallback before adding my own callbacks,
but that leaves these questions: a) Am I doing this the right way; b) Who
is adding these extra callbacks (if that's what is happening), and what
do they do; and c) Why the  *?!!?* can't I find it in the Motif doco?
