Though you don't say it, I'm guessing you are using Solaris 2.5.1. There
is a bug in one of the X libraries - libXm, I believe, which causes this
behavior - it's not a problem native to IDL. Applying Sun's patch
#103461-15 will fix it. Or you can do like I ultimately did and dump
OpenWindows entirely and replace it with a stock X11R6.3 :-)
