Thank you again for all of the replies.
I found an answer and it involved patching my HP system.
I didn't call HP but found a patch via HP's electronic support
webpage. I had looked there before but was searching for a
CDE-specific patch. The patch that fixed my problem is an
X/Motif Runtime patch.
I installed PHSS_14040 (X/Motif1.2 Runtime Feb 98 Periodic Patch)
which fixed my problem. While testing the results of the
patching I accidentally found some systems that didn't have
PHSS_14040 but worked nonetheless. These systems had PHSS_11046
(X11R5/Xt/Motif Runtime May97 Periodic patch) and PHSS_11048
(X11R6/Xt/Motif Runtime May97 Periodic Patch) installed. I see
that PHSS_14040 supersedes PHSS_11046/8 so I would guess that
whatever is in these last 2 patches fixed the problem.
Thanks again for all of your help and suggestions.

I don't speak for Goodyear and they don't speak for me. We're both happy.
