Subject: Memory Deallocation of XtDestroyWidget?

Hello,
	I am looking into the memory usage by the Motif and Xt. What I did
was to load in some 100 push button widgets at run-time (invoked using Callback)
from a UID file, then destory these widgets on another press of a button.
However,the SZ and RSS have increased rather than decreased.
What have I done wrong? I thought the XtDestroyWidget is to destroy the
widget and free the memory. 

The size of the SZ and RSS are as follows:

	SZ	RSS
	1200	720	/* With Two  push buttons on screen */
	1280	820	/* Loaded another 98 push buttons to make 100 */
	2184	1728	/* After the 98 push buttons have been destroyed 
			   and the display is left with the initial 2 buttons */

Thanks in Advance
