I should have clarified here. I'm on LWM5.1. I know that the doc page
states that :show-value-p is ignored on Windows. I'm interested in
whether it ought to do anything on OS X.

Ah, OK. I saw "Note: show-value-p  is ignored on Microsoft Windows."
but didn't see anything about Cocoa. I guess this is only for Motif
then. I'm just curious, what does it do? (I don't have an X11 setup
handy to try this out.)
