[comp.windows.x] String to Widget error in MIT Xt

Hi folks.  I have a strange (to me!) problem with the MIT Xt.
I have two machines with identical X11R3 fix1-9 installations,
both of which i did myself.  The only difference between them
is that the VaxStation uses the DEC server since the qdss driver in
the distribution is so broken.

An application i wrote (xf) works great on the uVAX, but on the
Sun 3/50 it gives me a bunch of messages like this:

X Toolkit Warning: No type converter registered for 'String' to 'Widget'
	conversion

I get one for each widget name i use (in the app-defaults/Xf file)
while setting up the Form widget that holds the parts of my
application.  I KNOW it's not supposed to do this!!!

What am i doing stupid???  I have tested this out on other Suns,
and they all give me the same result.  Unfortunately i just have
the one vax to toy with.

If you have an idea, PLEASE let me know!!!

TIA,
	Gary Shea
