I'm not clear on when an XmString should/shouldn't be freed.
For example: When filling a list that was previously empty
I create a string with XmStringCreate and then add it to the
list. Do I then need to free the created string or will this
free the string stored in the list?

Also, I'm having scrolled lists that randomly don't appear! That
is to say that one time the full list will appear with the scrollbar
and the next time it will appear only as a postage stamp size box
with no scroll bar or anything. Yet if I click in that little box
the items are still there because I can select the very first one.
Anyone seen anything like this before?  

On the same note i'm also experiencing random window growths. Out of the
blue a FormDialog will suddenly grow to twice it's size!!

Thanks for any help in advance!!
