Orphan Dialog Boxes

HELP,

	When I spawn multiple processes with a 
Working Motif Dialog Box (one per process) I 
sometimes get "orphan windows". This meaning
that only a partial drawing of the dialog box
gets displayed onto the screen (usually just 
the top left corner of the dialog box and
just the first letter of the name of the dialog
box).

	My question is, how to stop processing
long enough (controlling my own events during
exposure) to ensure that all of the dialog box
can be displayed before being swapped out by
other processing?

		Thanks in advance,

				Phil Diaz
