All I added was checkboxes to allow items in the list to be checked or unchecked so a user knows what the last item selected was. The example program works fine with this new menu widget but when I install the widget into my actual application bad things happen. The main symptom appears to be that something walks across the memory that has been set aside for X to allocate space from. I get either an X error about the inability to allocate any space or I get a memory fault from within malloc() called from Xtmalloc(). The symptoms only appear if I cause a menu to be popped up by MenuPopup("MyMenu") installed as a button translation. If I never cause any of the menus to be popped up my program seems to work. If I pop up a menu then my next attempt to create any type of X window or widget is met with a memory fault/malloc failure. Any and all information would be apreciated.
