Application fails to start
Your application fails to start and you get a quite "sophisticated" error 
message like the following:

Error: PANIC: no realize procedure specified for this widget.

or

Error: attempt to add non-widget child "DropSiteManager" to parent
       "xmfoo" which supports only widgets

We've seen this happen when the order of libraries upon linking was incorrect. 
The correct order is :

-lXm -lXt -lX11
