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.

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.
