I just compiled and linked a rather large X11R3/motif 1.0 application
that we run on the Sun's by using our own copy of the X and Motif
libraries, including -lXmt. The Info Explorer doc is self-inconsistent
about the correct order of listing the X11, Xm, and Xt libs. The text
says one thing, and the example makefile says something different.

In any case, the result is an application that dies in a XtSetValues
with X server protocol error, "not a valid window ID.". Not
surprising, I think, given a ResourceID of 0 in the error message.

Does this ring any bells out there? Should I give up on IBM's libXm
and libXt and port our copy of Xm and Xtm with the latest bugfixes?
