See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Answer: The policy OSF have been trying to enforce is that if you set an XmString or XmStringTable resource, the application is responsible for freeing the XmStrings used because the widget makes a copy. If you get an XmString resource, then the application must free the value gotten. If you get an XmStringTable, then the application should NOT free the value gotten. If the application wants to manipulate it, it should make a copy first. This policy appears to be implemented progressively, so may be less true for Motif 1.0 than 1.1.
