Funny you should say this .. someone here came to me with the same problem,
they wanted to be able to specify a new X and Y for the clipped child.
Currently if you do a SetValues on the child of the Athena Viewport it
refuses the request.  What you need to change is the geometry manager inside
the Viewport to accept the X and Y change request .. funny really, coz
everything is in there to cope with moving the child (there is a
MoveChild(w, x, y) procedure).

I've fixed this in my own version of the Viewport (which uses different
scrolly-bars) .. but as there is a need out there I'll send you diffs for
Athena Viewport and also pass them on to Chris Peterson and see if he
wants to include them.
