Our application has a possible use for something like the XmList widget to 
display narrative text.  (This text is reference only, so a text widget IMHO is
inappropriate).  The List widget comes with behavior that allows the user to 
select from the list.  I cannot find a way to turn this behavior off as 
selection makes no sense in this context. Is there a straightforward way
(straighter than playing with highlight color resources) to turn off selection
in a list?
