Issues with XmList spacing between items

Hi
I use the CONVERT function to convert my C string to XmString. The C
string has an embedded separators like ":::t" and "". Lets say I have
3 segments of a single string, the first 2 segments are separated by
the separator ":::t" and the last segment is separated by "". I use
the CONVERT function (as shown below) to convert the C string to
XmString. When I add this XmString to the XmList widget it converts it
into 3 lines and a spacing before the next item is added to the XmList
widget. However in some weird scenarios I see that I don't get the
spacing between the items in the XmList widget.

Below is the CONVERT segment of the code:
XmString temp = (XtPointer) CONVERT(ListWidget,xmStr,XmRxString,
0,&argok);
where ListWidget is of type List Widget, xmStr is of type XmString.

Can you please let me know
1) why this weird behaviour of spacing is seen? I would like to always
have a space between the differnt items in the XmList .
2)Can you please provide me suggestions to fix it?

What is CONVERT ? Is it a macro? a function? Why are you casting it to
XtPointer?
Show us the code.
