Have been yet unable to coerce the Athena Form widget into properly
placing its children relative to
one another. A simple representative example of the problem follows:

---------begin xt source -----------------

/* 
 *  xform.c - simple button form
 */
/*

#include <stdio.h>

/*
 * quit button callback function
 */
/*ARGSUSED*/
void Quit(w, client_data, call_data)
Widget w;
caddr_t client_data, call_data;
{ 
	exit(0); 
}

/*
 * "Press me!" button callback function
 */
/*ARGSUSED*/
void PressMe(w, client_data, call_data)
Widget w;
caddr_t client_data, call_data;
{ 
	fprintf(stderr, "Thankyou!\n"); 
}

main(argc, argv)
int argc;
char **argv;
{
	Widget form, quit, pressme, topLevel;

	topLevel = XtInitialize(
		argv[0], 	/* application name */
		"XBox2", 	/* application class name */
		NULL, 	/* application resources (not used) */
		0, 	/* application resource count */
		&argc, 	/* command line argument count */
		argv);	/* command-line string */

	form = XtCreateManagedWidget(
		"form", 	/* widget name */
		formWidgetClass,	/* widget class */
		topLevel,	/* parent widget*/
		NULL,	/* argument list*/
		0	/* arglist size */
		);

	pressme = XtCreateManagedWidget(
		"pressme",	/* widget name	 */
		commandWidgetClass,	/* widget class */
		form,	/* parent widget*/
		NULL,	/* argument list*/
		0	/* arglist size */
		);

	quit = XtCreateManagedWidget(
		"quit",	/* widget name */
		commandWidgetClass,	/* widget class */
		form,	/* parent widget*/
		NULL,	/* argument list*/
		0	/* arglist size */
		);

	XtAddCallback(quit, XtNcallback, Quit, 0);
	XtAddCallback(pressme, XtNcallback, PressMe, 0);

	XtRealizeWidget(topLevel);

	XtMainLoop();
}

---------------------end xt source-----------------
---------------------begin app-defaults-----------------

*pressme*label:	Press Me
*quit*label:	Quit
*Command*background:	orange
*pressme*fromHoriz:	quit
!*quit*fromHoriz:	pressme
---------------------end app-defaults-----------------

This is the error message above program produces:

X Toolkit Warning: Cannot convert string "quit" to type Widget

Would be eternally gratefull for any insights into this problem.
