Annette,
As long as folks are just throwing out suggestions, I have a couple: If you
are going through the process of managing/unmanaging, it is a short step to
destroying/recreating. I don't add or delete items from a selectionbox list,
but I recreate them zillions of times with no problem (so far).
Also, I had some very bizarre behavior occuring with pulldown menus that was
finally traced back to my thoughtlessly re-executing a bit of code that had
the "XtAddCallback()" statement in it. Silly me, I thought that the guardian
spirit of naive programmers would notice that the function name and callback 
data were exactly the same, and ignore the additional calls. Boy, was I wrong.
This had the effect of queueing the same process to be called many times when 
I expected it to occur only once!  
Good luck.
carl.
