I have a "Viewport" widget with a "List" as a child.  The viewport
has AllowHorizontal, and its width is specified.  The list does not
have the width specified.    When I create the list, and its longest
member is longer than the width of the viewport, as I expect, it
creates a horizontal scrollbar which I can use to move around.

However, if I change the list with XtListChange, and there is a new
item in the list which is even longer, the scrollbar on the viewport
does not grow, and I cannot see the new text.  The list is getting
updated successfully.  I've tried this on R3, and R4. 

Does it sound like I have left something out?

Thanks,

#Ron
