We have an X application which puts up a working dialog widget using the top
level widget as the parent.  The dialog is unmanaged by a SIGUSR1 signal
handler function in our application.  The signal handler function runs, but
occasionally the dialog widget does not unmanage.  It seems as if the X event
queue ignores or never receives this unmanage event.  When we added a second
call to unmanage the dialog, it always works.  Also we have noticed that the
more X applications we have running, the more likely that the dialog will not
get unmanaged.

Is there anything wrong with causing X events from a signal handling funtion?

We use X11R3, motif 1.0, Interactive Unix 2.02.
