I want to use motif to have a window containing a number of widgets that
can be moved around using the mouse.

I have tried:
[1] unmanage the widget
[2] set the resources for the position (XmNx, XmNy) using XtSetValues
[3] manage the widget

This causes the parent window (and scrollbars) to be redrawn each time
the widget is moved.  (the parent window is a bulletin board widget)

Is there a better way of accomplishing the same task? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Andy
