I've run into the same problem with the List widget never freeing
memory that it allocates.  According to the software engineers here
at Sequent there are a ghastly number of memory leaks in Motif 1.0.
I've also been told that a copy of the strings is made whenever the
list is set.  Deleting each item one at a time (using XmListDeletePos
or a similar call) only slowed down my application; the memory still
leaked away.  I've been promised that version 1.1 has most of the
leaks plugged.
