One of the bugs with both the Viewport and Form widgets in the R2 release was that they ignored any XtNwidth or XtNheight that was specified for them. This is fixed in the R3 widgets.

I have been having a similar problem, which may be related. When changing the size of the child widget, if the child widget shrinks so that scroll bars are no longer necessary, they do not disappear under R3 as they did under R2. To try this out, get the new version of xdvi from expo:contrib/ and use the 's' key to change the shrink factor (and therefore the child widget size). (I've mentioned this before, but have gotten no feedback.) --Paul Vojta, vojta@math.berkeley.edu

We are working on this one for R4. It is complicated, but I think we have got it. Chris D. Peterson MIT X Consortium
