It is not completely clear to me either what the problem is.
I've checked out emacs from CVS but it won't start building.
I've configured with 'configure --with-x-toolkit=motif' but
make says :

This is on SuSE 8.0, with LessTif from CVS and emacs from CVS.
Anyway you mention that popup_deactivate_callback() gets called
more than expected. Why do you think that ? I would add a line
saying
fprintf(stderr, "Deact(%s)\n", XtName(widget));
to the function to get a grip on what's happening.
