I'm in the middle of porting a small application from sunview
to xview, and I've come across this strange problem.

I've got a command frame with a large number of check boxes, and four
buttons; Done, Cancel, Reset, and Optimum.  Done and Cancel are
somewhat obvious, Reset turns all the check boxes on (the default),
and Optimum sets each to a computed setting.

Now here's the weird part: Whenever any of these four buttons is
pressed and released the command frame is taken down.  (XV_SHOW set to
FALSE.)  Even if there isn't a callback for that button.

Is this supposed to happen?  I can find no mention of it in O'Reilly
volume 7 - which isn't to say it isn't there.  It appears to happen
consistently, so I am not sure if it's a bug or a feature.

If it is supposed to work that way, how can I turn it off?

Thoughts, anyone?
