Dear Xperts,
	I have recently started trying writing an application using the
X11.3 libraries, including the Athena Widget set. My program compiles
and links ok, but when I run it I get the error message :-

X Toolkit Warning: No type converter registered for 'String' to
        'Orientation' conversion.

when I try to create a managed widget of type asciiDiskWidgetClass.  This only
occurs when I ask for a vertical scrollbar.  The resulting scrollbar is very
strange, is about 1 pixel wide, has the double arrow cursor horizontally, and
does not work properly.  I cannot see that I am doing anything different from
the code in xclipboard, which works as expected. Is the answer simple ?
