    Well, using my WsMatrixBox I set: 
    WsNmatrixLayout: row
    WsNtiled: false
    WsNspacing:  16 
    (or specify the initial size of the box) and I am DONE.


    With Motif widgets only .... --(.
    I would probably struggle with nested configurations of XmForm.
    The result is likely to be both complicated and far from what
    you want. 

    Another option is to try one of the Motif Mesage boxes.
    You would have to somehow remove (unmanage ? or unmap ?) the
    label they put above the buttons, but this may be feasible
    (though unsupported and difficult to do without source).
