I  have a list widget which does not grow horizontally to match the length of
the longest item.  The list will grow to allow a 13 character item but will
clip any longer items.  When the number of items in the list exceeds the
number visible, the vertical scroll bar clips the list items even further.


The following is the widget organization:

XmMainWindow

    XmMenuBar

        XmCascadeButton

            XmPulldownMenu

                XmPushButton

                XmPushButton

        XmCascadeButton


    XmBulletinBoard

        XmScrolledWindow

            XmList

        XmPushButton


The above widget structure was specified using the UIL.

I have tried specifying XmNheight and XmNwidth arguments for the Bulletin
Board and Main Window widgets to no avail.  When I replaced the Main Window
widget with a Bulletin Board, the list works (but when I replaced the Main
Window with a Form widget the list exhibits the same behavior as it did
using the Main Window).

Why can't I (or how can I) use the Main Window widget in this scenario.

I am using X11R3, motif 1.0, Interactive Unix 2.02.
