 ( Motif 1.0.3, it's magic Xt, DECstation 3000, Ultrix 4.1 )

I am calling XtPopdown() on an XmDialogShell. Everything works fine under
several Window Managers; however, when using DEC "dxwm", during the
popdown the WM(aparently) sends my shell a client message, which
invokes the following section of the shell code;

                   /*
                    * UT Oh! the window manager has come back alive
                    * This means either I didn't wait long enough or
                    * The WM is sick.
                    * Query my real size and position, and adjust my child
                    * it needs be.
                    */
                    if(wmshell->wm.wait_for_wm) {
                        XtAppWarningMsg(XtWidgetToApplicationContext(wid),
                               "communicationError","windowManager",
                                  XtCXtToolkitError,
                                  "Window Manager is confused",
                                  (String *)NULL, (Cardinal *)NULL);
 

My X event traceback prior this happens:
AWS: HelpBox <ButtonPress> btn 1
AWS: HelpBox <ButtonRelease>Btn1 btn 1
AWS: HelpBox <LeaveNotify> 125,89 focus 1
AWS: FileHelpShell <EnterNotify>InferiorNonlinearPointerRoot 125,89 focus 1
AWS: FileHelpShell <UnmapNotify>
AWS: FileHelpShell <FocusOut>VirtualInferiorNonlinearPointerPointerRoot
AWS: FileHelpShell <LeaveNotify> 125,89 focus 0
AWS: FileHelpShell <send><ClientMessage>

Any DEC expert knowing what is going on ?
