It sounds as tho you really have a weird problem.  The only reason I am
replying to this (no, I don't have a solution) is because I noticed
similar odd behavior when I was using my own file search procedure
for the file selection dialog.
You must remember to set XmNlistUpdated in this procedure.  You weren't
clear about what kind of list you were dealing with, but I thought I
would throw this out as a suggestion.
