I  have a question about using the XmScrollingWindowWidget.
I have written a small program that creates a ScrollingWindow
with a DrawingArea child.  This works fine.  The DrawingArea
is about 3 times bigger that the ScrollWindow, so I got both
horizontal and vertical scroll  bars.  Also, the percentage
of DrawingArea visible was reflected in the scroll bars.
I am have set the AUTOMATIC scroll resource.

Next I tried to make the ScrollingWindow a child of a Bulletin
Board, so I could have several of these, but now the Drawing
Area widgets have corrupted width and heights.  The scroll bars
are showing only a small fraction of the DrawingArea as visible
in the window, even though I am explicitly setting the width
and height.

DOes anyone know what causes this wierd behavior.  I also tried
making the ScrollingWindow a child of a DrawingArea, and a
RowColumn, all with the same results.  Is there some resource I
need to set in order to get the scroll bars to always reflect the
size of the ScrollWindow Child?  

Please HELP!!!

E-mail if possible, and I'll post a summary if anyone is interested.


Thanks!
