The title bar is controlled by the XmNdialogTitle resource of
MessageBox.  Note also that XmNdialogTitle has type XmString, not
String, so you can't just pass a (char *).  App-defaults files work
because of the type converter which converts a (char *) to a XmString.
XtSetValues requires you to pass the correct type.

XmNlabelString and XmNlabelType are not resources of the MessageBox.

You need to do something like:

	{
	  XmString xs;

	  xs = XmStringCreateSimple("my_dialog");
	  XtVaSetValues(dialog, XmNdialogTitle, xs, NULL);
	  XmStringFree(xs);
	}
