If you set XmNitemCount to 0 in an XmList the current behavior is for the
widget to delete the old list items.  It is also recommended that you set
XmNitems to NULL simultaneously as is implied to be necessary by the AES in
case of future changes to the implementation.  After the release of 1.1.1,
XmListDeleteAllItems will be safe to use and will be the recommended method
for clearing a list.

Let me know if there are any questions.
