I want to show different strings in the same Information Dialog
(created with a XmCreateInformationDialog).
I can set a new string by using XtSetArg for the XmNmessageString resource
and XtSetValues.

Is there any need to get the old value of this resource, before setting
the new one? Or will the old one be freed automatically?
What's the right way to prevent a memory leak here?
