recently, david@twg.com (David S. Herron) started a discussion about
how to grey things out.  several people suggested using 

XtSetSensitive(widget, False) 

to accomplish this.

i also have several labels that'd i'd like to grey out when their
corresponding text widgets are insensitive.  i tried XtSetSensitive
on these labels, but they're still black, NOT grey.  did i miss
something, or does this not work in my collection of windowing stuff
(Interactive 386's X11R3 and Motif 1.0)?

(was able to make the text widgets insensitive with no problem -- can't
input text here anymore!  but alas, no grey labels as of yet : ( ).


more suggestions?

thanks,
