FileSelectionDialog resources:

XmNfilterLabelString XmNdirListLabelString

XmNfileListLabelString

The XmNmessageString resource specifies the message that is displayed by the MessageDialog. The

XmNsymbolPixmap resource specifies the iconic symbol that is associated with each of the MessageDialog types.
