	I don't know about using uil, but when you create a dialog
	with one of the convenience function (and so don't explicitely
	create a shell) the widget returned is that of the child of the
	shell, so what you need to do is set the XmMappedWhenManaged
	resource on the parent of the widget return---the shell.
