I am currently writing a program using the Athena widget set
and have found that resizing one of the children of a certain
form widget does not cause it (the form widget) to resize itself,
hence causing the child to be clipped off at the right hand edge.
I have a suspicion that this might not be the form widgets
fault and may be due to its parent(s). The following is the
hierarchy of the child widget that was resized :
.... -> TransientShell -> Form -> Core
I have tried :
1)	setting the XtNresizable resource of the child.
2)	XtMakeResizeRequest()
3)	XtSetValues()
4)	XawFormDoLayout()

Could someone tell me how I might be able to resize this widget,
or of any way I might be able to place some Command widgets and
a Core, Viewport or Box (one will do) widget under a popup widget
and have the popup widget resizing to fit all of these when
necessary without having to go into the internals of widgets. 

Thanks in advance.
