Dear X Architects:

PROBLEM 1(Solved due to ART 12022):
We are writing an application that parasites off the stnd xeditor.  
As you know the xeditor uses vpanes to manage the overall parent 
and child regions.  If we try to add children to the parent vpane of
xedit using XtCreateManagedWidget and XtPanedSetMinMax, our 
verticalScroll Option is scaled downward to a thickness of about 2.  
There does not seem to be a way to adjust the default thickness 
when outside of a scrollbarWidgetClass.

SOLN: USE xedit_first = (XtAppContext)_XtDefaultAppContext();
instead of /*xedit_first = XtCreateApplicationContext(); */

IS THIS THE APPROVED SOLUTION??

PROBLEM 2:
In addition, our grips do not resize our regions, even in the
system version of xedit.  Documentation on Vpanes says that
you can resize child panes via the grips???

First, I want you to know that I read all of the applicable 
articles that I could find on the problems above, AND, article
12022 WORKED for the scrollBar problem. However, it did not
fix the Grip problem.  ALso, I would be interested in your 
answer to Mr. Robbins (msg 12022).
