I have a "Form" widget with labels attached to the left and right sides
The "Form" is inside another form. The "Form's" left side is attached 
to the left side of the enclosing form and the "Form's" right side is 
attached to the left side of the enclosing form with a negative right 
offset value.


What I am trying to do is have a push button, when activated, change the right 
offset value of the "Form". The only way I can get the offset value to change 
with XtSetArgs is to first unmanage the Form with the labels, change the right 
offset value, and then manage it again.

Is there any way to avoid unmanaging and then managing the "Form" to change the
XmNrightOffset resource?
