Section Header: Motif SelectionBox;
second paragraph; states that
activating any of the three buttons in
a dialog will automatically unmanage
the dialog--this is a 1.0 behavior; in
1.1 and on, only the OK and Cancel
buttons automatically unmanage.
Page 280
Exercise #1; in Motif 1.1 and above,
tab groups are automatically added for
every widget grouping and
keyboardTraversal is automatically
enabled; this means that pointing to
the DrawingArea is not enough to give
it input focus for the user to enter a
control-d; instead, you must "tab
over" from the clear PushButton to the
DrawingArea to give it input focus
enabling entry of a control-d.
Page 290
First paragraph; "Figure 19.8 shows
shows several..." should be "Figure
19.8 shows several..."

Page 404

parameter declarations; "XColor
foreground;" and "XColor background;"
should be "XColor *foreground;" and
"XColor *background;."
