I have the opposite problem - I am using an ErrorDialog to display an error
to the user.  The user has the option either to continue regardless or to cancel
the operation, but he can also get help (another dialog) to allow him to make
the decision.
My problem is that when the user selects the help button, the error dialog is
removed from the screen so he is unable to then choose one of the other
options.  I want to retain the ErrorDialog until the user chooses one of the
other options.

(I am using XmCreateErrorDialog followed by XtManageChild to display the
widget and am not destroying or unmapping it subsequently)

Thanks,  Huw
