Same here!  ;-)

It's possibly related to use of Lesstif instead of OpenMotif.  Check
which one you compiled Xastir with (Help->About).

Lesstif has known hangs if/when you try to remove/add widgets to an
already-realized dialog.  Motif has no problem doing this.  I've
seen other times when Lesstif would hang an application as well.
