My posting has nothing directly to do with menu widgets;  but I have
had the problem mentioned above (i.e. the item remains highlighted,
until you move the cursor in and out again); I have actually also
observed the same problem often with the command button widget in
Xaw.  In many of the cases where I have used command buttons, on
clicking the button remains highlighted even after the callback
routine has returned; I am not sure, but it seems to be related to
the time it takes for the callback routine to return.

Anyone have any observations/suggestions?

Thanks.
