You didn't post any sample code, so I'm just guessing.  How are you
attempting to draw the 3D shadow?  Remember that XmPrimitive has no
drawing procedure, so you must draw everything that is displayed in
your widget's window.  XmPrimitive does, however, provide GC resources
that make the 3D shadow easy.
