   Can anyone explain this?

   When I set the highlight thickness of a pushbutton to a value
   larger than 2 and subsequently retrieves this by XtGetValues,
   the return value is 2 lower than the actual value, although the
   pushbutton is displayed correctly, with the desired highlight
   thickness.
   I suspect it has something to do with the way rowcolumn manages
   its children, but I don't understand how and why!

   For an example, try out the code listed below.


        .
        .
   args_count = 0;
   mainw=XmCreateMainWindow(top_level,"mainw",args,args_count);
   rc=XmCreateRowColumn(mainw,"rc",args,args_count);
   bbut=XmCreatePushButton(rc,"bbut",args,args_count);
   XtManageChild(bbut);
   args_count = 0;
   XtSetArg(args[args_count],XmNhighlightThickness, 6); args_count++;
   XtSetValues(bbut,args,args_count);
   args_count = 0;
   XtSetArg(args[args_count],XmNhighlightThickness, &i); args_count++;
   XtGetValues(bbut,args,args_count);
   fprintf(stderr,"bbut.highlightthickness: %d\n",i);
   XtManageChild(rc);
   XtManageChild(mainw);
        .
        .
