I use a form widget to enclose two other widgets, a menubar and a Cornell tbl geometry manager. The tbl manager is very nice: it allows you to specify a Unix tbl-like format for its children, and it handles resizing very well. The tbl widget children are a number of text and label widgets. The problem is this: when I start the application, my window manager (twm) gives me the wrong default size. Somehow, the form widget has shrunk its children down to the default length of the menubar, and to a default width of 0. The tbl widget is shrunk to nothing. So, the question is, why is this happening, and which widget(s) are at fault. Thanks for your help, -Dave
