I have a dialog widget where the text field seems to be
random in it's ability to allow me to edit the text. This 
usually happens while running under dbx (not xdbx). After
this occurs, then running while not under dbx causes the
same problem. If I exit from X and restart X altogether,
the field is editable again. Or in my application, if I
click on the [OK] prompt, it brings up another dialog
widget telling me that I have to enter in a file name,
and after clicking the [OK] button in that widget, I 
"XtPopdown()" the second widget, and my original one
is now editable ! 

Has anyone seen this behavior before or is it programmer 
error ?


I'm using the following resources:
xtag.openfile.dialog*value:
xtag.openfile*editType:edit
