Does anyone know, why is it soooo slow to put widgets into BulletinBoardDialog 
or anything derived from it.

For example, try:

		dialog = XmCreateFormDialog(parent, "dialog", NULL, NULL);

		toggleButton = (Widget) XtCreateWidget("toggleButton", 
         	xmToggleButtonWidgetClass, dialog, NULL, NULL);
		label = (Widget) XtCreateWidget("label", 
				xmLabelWidgetClass, dialog, NULL, NULL);
                        .
                        .
                        .
		someOther = (Widget) XtCreateWidget("someOther", 
				xmSomeOtherWidgetClass, dialog, NULL, NULL);

Changing XmCreateFormDiaog to XmCreateForm speeds thing up by at least a 
factor of 10. We are using ISC UNIX System V.3.2.2.2, ISC X11.3, ISC Motif 1.0.

											Thank you, Tania.
