There is nothing wrong with the codes. I have also compiled the program with
Motif 2.0 and the program runs correctly.
This is simple program and should run just as well under Motif 1.2 which
Lesstif hopes to compatibile with. I have used Lesstif 0.8 before and
I do noticed hiccups here and there (widgets losing their positions, program
crashing etc). The same program however, works find when compiled with Motif
1.2. If this problem you are referring is a bug then it is a minor one.
Maybe you can try setting the label text after the widget is
created(XtCreateManagedWidget) as opposed to during it's creation.
