Hi All! I have a perplexing problem. I have a little application that has a geometry problem. The hierarchy of widgets is as follows: XmForm / \ / \ XmBulletinBoard XmRowColumn / / / / XmLabel XmPushButton The BulletinBoard is attached to the Form at the top and sides. The RowColumn is attached to the bottom of the BulletinBoard at its top and to the Form at its sides. This is defined via a UIL file. The Label is "filled in" by the program after the main window (the Form) is fetched and before it is managed. The problem is this. When the window appears, it is too narrow to see all of the label. We are trying to avoid setting a width because the label would change. Unmanaging and managing the label widget did not help. Is there something that can be done? Thanks in advance. Caroline P.S. We are running 11R3 and Motif 1.0. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& ! Caroline Niebres Software Engineer ! ! Micro Component Technology, Inc.

As Vania has pointed out I did forget to mention that all the resizing policies were left to their default state. Thanks for your help.
