All you have to do is set the XmNpaneMaximum and XmNpaneMinimum PanedWindow
constraint resources on the child to the same value.  If you're explicitly
setting the height of the child in question, then you can just set the
resources to that value.  See page 1-733, paragraph 3 of the 1.1
Programmer's Reference.  For example:

object
	push_button1 :	XmPushButton {
	  arguments {
		XmNheight = 100;
		XmNpaneMaximum = 100;
		XmNpaneMinimum = 100;
	  };
	};

If you don't explicitly set the height of the child, but rely on the
parent's size and constraints to set the child's height, then it's a little
more complicated.  You'll have to manage the widgets first, query the
XmNheight of the child and then set the panedMinimum and panedMaximum to
that value.  It may cause a brief flicker of the sash.

I hope this helps.  If you have any further questions, please let me know.
