In the following Motif 1.0 UIL fragment, the widget realized displays the
contents "widget-0-399-7" in the label instead of being blank.

		    XmLabel {		! null body, I want an empty label.
		    };

In reading the documentations, it appears that the default value is
NULL. I interpreted this to mean an empty string in the label field,
but obviously I'm wrong. I want to update this label from the
application at a later time, so I just want to start with it emtpy. Is
there any other way to achieve this result other  than explicitly
saying

		    XmLabel {
			arguments {
			    XmNlabelString = ' ';
			};
		    };
