Preface: I am using ICS Motif, which is Release 1.0.


Question 1:

    I attempt to set the labelString and stringDirection resources from
    a resource file. In particular, I set stringDirection to Right-To-
    Left. But, the label appears Left-To-Right.

    So: does the contents of the XmString override that of stringDirection?
    Or:  or what?


Question 2:

    When using a pixmap label, I attempt to load labelPixmap with the
    output of XWD (which I understand to be a pixmap). I try both XY and
    Z formats, but neither will load. I have no problem loading a bitmap 
    (as produced by bitmap(1X)).

    So: is the name misleading, and is this really a bitmap label?
    Or: is this something that is "fixed" in Release 1.1
    Or: am I clueless, and XWD doesn't really output a pixmap
    Or: ...


Thanks in advance. Mail or post as you see fit . . . I will summarize
if no-one posts.
