[comp.windows.x.motif] XtMakeResizeRequest always says XtGeometryNo

tjhorton@vis.toronto.edu ("Timothy J. Horton") (04/11/91)

Perhaps someone can quickly tell me what's going on.  I've written a widget
to display columns of data, and in certain circumstances XtMakeResizeRequest
always comes back with bad answers.  (The widget is trying to resize itself
to show all its data.)  The nastier problem is this:

- as a child of XmForm, and with only top and left attachments,
  XtMakeResizeRequest always returns XtGeometryNo (simply WON'T resize).
  I do have XmNresizeable true.

A much smaller problem, which could just be a property of XmBulletinBoard(?):

- as a child of a XmBulletinBoard, XtMakeResizeRequest only returns
  XtGeometryYes or XtGeometryNo, but never XtGeometryAlmost

In both cases, I've carefully checked my resources, and am fairly certain
they are fine.  Unfortunately I don't have access to a Motif source licence
(and my need for it is limited to this teeny remaining problem).  I'm using
Xt intrinsics release 3 and Motif 1.0 something, on DEC/Sun/HP platforms.
Suggestions? THANKS!!!
