  I don't know if it's legal, but I have tons of test programs where
  I create the Help button with nothing hanging off it. And the button
  is alive and doing well, incl. callback activation.
  
  The only thing that stops working is Motif traversal, which seems
  to be smart enough to figure out I have no submenu out there, and
  thus does not let me to use keyboard to get to it. In fact, it
  would be kinda difficult, as the -> key only pulls down the menu
  (which is not there), and there is no key to act on my Help button.

  However, this is Motif 1.0, may be 1.1 is ... different.
