This works, but has one drawback. If you just set the scale widget insensitive,
the associated label widget becomes insensitive as well!

You can prevent this by using the following code:

XtSetSensitive (XtNameToWidget (scale_widget, "scale_scrollbar"), False);

This way you are only affecting the scrollbar of the scale widget and the
label remains readable...
