[comp.windows.x.motif] app defined scrolling in 1.1

kmclough.US2.oramail@us.oracle.com ("kmclough.US2") (10/18/90)

Aaarrrgggh! Why did OSF change the ScrolledWindow code in 1.1 so that
you have to set visualPolicy to XmVARIABLE when scrollingPolicy is
XmAPPLICATION_DEFINED? For that matter, what is the point of XmVARIABLE
layout to begin with!? It seems contrary to the whole purpose for the
existence of a scrolled window to have it grow to match the size of the
work area.

Is it so weird to want a fixed-size clip window, but not to want scrollbars
on it (for instance, because you're using one scrollbar to scroll two windows
simultaneously)?

Am I missing the point, or something?
