I'm having the following problem with hp's form widget.
The widget tree is simple and looks like:

		      toplevel
			 |
			 |
                       form
                       /  \
                      /    \
		 rowcol    workspace
		   |
		   |
                buttons

Problem: if I resize my application on startup using the -geometry option,
the rowcol widget will not grow above its default size (as mentioned in
the manual).
The workspace widget however grows larger than its default in the y direction
but not in the x direction.
Can anyone explain this behavior?
(BTW: at the moment the default sizes are set in my .Xdefaults file).
