In resource files, the Athena Form resource "fromHoriz" is used to specify
placement of a child widget of the Form, as you already understand.
The string value of the resource specfies a widget name, which must
be a widget which is an (already created) child of the Form.  What your
resource specification says here is to place the colorbar_label widget
5 pixels horizontally from the widget named NULL.  

Understanding this should help you to get things working right.
