What is truly bizarre is that the altnet text box is way larger than the
allowed number of characters for the altnet name --- the max length appears
to be nine characters, and the box is much bigger than that.  When I tried
to shrink the size of the box (by adjusting the "XmNrightOffset" parameter
in its XtVaCreateManagedWidget call) to expose the phantom check box, I found
that the checkbox disappeared.  It reappeared when I returned the 
XmNrightOffset to 160. 

Too strange.
