One thing that really frustrates me about the form widget is that it won't automatically size itself based on the default sizes of its children. I have created a couple forms that contain several children and unless I explicitly specify the size of a form ahead of time, the form always starts out being tiny with most of its children clipped out of view. The problem is that if I do specify the size of the form it won't be sensitive to different font sizes; if I give a form 700x500 dimensions, it may look fine for one size font but dumb for a larger size one. I am new to Motif and I may just be missing something. I would appreciate any assistance. Thanks... -- Jan Morales ...!uunet!eliot!janm
