Multiple widgetized windows in one application [message #15153]

I'm trying to write a widget program that has multiple widgetized
windows. I have done the following (in outline form)

PRO MANIFOLD

base_id = WIDGET_BASE(TITLE='Manifolds')
... create subwidgets for this window

display_1_id = WIDGET_BASE(TITLE = 'Display 1', GROUP_LEADER = base_id)
... create subwidgets for this window

display_2_id = WIDGET_BASE(TITLE = 'Display 2', GROUP_LEADER = base_id)
... create subwidgets for this window

WIDGET_CONTROL, display_1_id, /REALIZE
WIDGET_CONTROL, display_2_id, /REALIZE
WIDGET_CONTROL, base_id, /REALIZE

XMANAGER, 'MANIFOLD', display_1_id, /JUST_REG
XMANAGER, 'MANIFOLD', display_2_id, /JUST_REG
XMANAGER, 'MANIFOLD', base_id

The 'Display 1' and 'Display 2' windows have identical widget structures
(but different widget id's, of course).

I have a single event handling routine, MANIFOLD_EVENT

The program works, mostly. All three windows are realized. Events in
base_id and display_1_id windows are passed to MANIFOLD_EVENT. For some
reason, however, no events in 'Display 2' are passed to MANIFOLD_EVENT. I
know this because I print out part of every event that comes to
MANIFOLD_EVENT.

I must say that the documentation of GROUP_LEADER, JUST_REG, and NO_BLOCK
may have reached a new high in IDL documentation obscurity, approaching
the PS and X device descriptions. I may not be using them correctly. I
don't need to handle command line input.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks, Ken
