I'm using Motif 1.1 on a sun4.  I'm having trouble getting a
XmPushButton widget to resize when I set the labelString to a
string of multiple lines of text.  The widget has been created
but not yet mapped when I do the following:

    {
      char* mystring = "one\ntwo\nthree\nfour";
      XmString xmstr;

      xmstr = XmStringCreateLtoR (mystring, XmSTRING_DEFAULT_CHARSET);
      ac = 0;
      XtSetArg(al[ac], XmNlabelString, xmstr); ac++;
      XtSetValues(widget, al, ac);
    }

When the widget is mapped, it has about enough height for a
single line of text.  I've checked the defaults; XmNrecomputeSize
is TRUE, and XmNlabelType is XmSTRING.

References, comments, and suggestions appreciated, even if the
solution is obvious.  Thank you.
