It is perfectly acceptable to do this. No need to worry
about XMANAGER if this widget won't be generating any
events and you have made sure it gets destroyed when
the program that calls it gets destroyed by making
it a member of the group.

No need for any Hail Marys in this case. :-)

Cheers,

David
