This should be easy to do.  Remember, there are 4 edges to each
child and you can chain each one independently.

	   2) are created with Resizeable == False, i.e. not to be
	      resized when form is resized.

Actually, Form/XtNresizeable says whether or not the child is
allowed to request a geometry change; it has nothing to do
with what happens when the Form itself is resized.

       * The vertical scrollbar is separated by the fromVert
       ...

Did you say these backwards, by any chance?  The mental picture
I draw is a bit peculiar, but maybe it is really what you
intend; no matter...

Chaining both the top and bottom of the horizontal scrollbar
to the form bottom and both the left and right of the vertical
scrollbar to the form left should cause their thicknesses to
remain constant.  I rather suspect your resize algorithm
can be completely specified as resources.
