In this case it doesn't matter at all whether you assign
the group leader to the top-level base with the GROUP_LEADER
keyword when you create the TLB or when you call XMANAGER,
but this is not always the case with the TLB. For example,
you should never use the EVENT_PRO keyword to assign the
event procedure to a TLB; always use the EVENT_HANDLER
keyword on XMANAGER. Similarly, you should never use the
KILL_NOTIFY keyword to assign a clean-up routine to the
TLB; always use the CLEANUP keyword on XMANAGER.

Failure to heed these warnings causes some VERY strange
behaviour in widget programs. And the warnings in the
documentation are worded in such a way that many people
miss them. :-)

Cheers,

David
