Hi all,

For a certain menu command, my application main window has to
include two scrolled text widgets (one on top of another).  
In order for them to stay "glued" together when resizing, 
I have put them in a form using the attachment resources.  

What I am finding with the bottom scrolled text widget is that 
no matter what I try, it will attach itself to the top of 
the form.  What I want it to do is attach itself to the bottom 
of the top scrolled text widget (in uil speak, this is 
XmNtopAttachment = XmATTACH_WIDGET; XmNtopWidget = 
XmScrolledText my_top_widget). Setting XmNrubberPositioning 
to True does not fix the problem; in fact when this resource 
is True, it then ignores the setting for XmNleftAttachment 
(which is to the form).  I have been successful getting a 
label and a scrolled window to attach properly in the form, 
but scrolled text just isn't getting it.

Any insights/suggestions/workarounds?  I'm using ISC Motif, 
v1.0.
