Sorry, I forgot to mention I tried that also and it didn't work. I also
failed to mention that after I read the file (and before launching the
widget) I used the CURSOR procedure allow selection of a point on a
plot. The CURSOR procedure seems to be causing the HOURGLASS problem
with the widget. Attached is a simple procedure (cursor_test.pro) to
illustrate the problem I'm having. If anyone can figure how to fix this
apparent bug, I'd really appreciate you sharing the solution. Thanks!

PRO cursor_test
widget_control, hourglass=1
for i = 0,1000 do begin
print,i
endfor
widget_control, hourglass=0
window,0
plot,[0,1],[0,1]
point = dialog_message('Pick a point on the plot?',/QUESTION)
if (point eq 'Yes') then begin
cursor,x,y,/up
oplot,[x],[y],psym=1
endif
wid_test
print,'Continue processing...'
END
;----
PRO wid_test_event,ev
WIDGET_CONTROL, ev.id, GET_UVALUE=uval
if (uval eq 'SUBMIT') then WIDGET_CONTROL, ev.top, /DESTROY
END
PRO wid_test
base = WIDGET_BASE(/COLUMN)
info = WIDGET_LABEL(base,VALUE='Imagine this is info. you must select to continue processing')
submit = WIDGET_BUTTON(base,VALUE='SUBMIT',UVALUE='SUBMIT')
WIDGET_CONTROL, base, /REALIZE
XMANAGER, 'wid_test', base
END

You could try this:
Widget_Control, Hourglass = 0
Sometimes we forget that /Keyword means Keyword = 1. :-)
