Motif (or any other toolkit) will never provide everything that every
application needs.  That doesn't mean you can't write a real-world
application.  That's the reason that Motif was based on the Intrinsics -
so when it doesn't do something you need you can add new functionality
yourself without having to have the source code (of course a few more
docs would help :-).

Use modifyVerifyCallback and set doit to False.  Live with the beep at 1.0,
at 1.1 you can turn it off.
