We use a XmList widget in Motif with titles (XmLabel) outside of the list widget
  carefully arranged to line up with the contents of the list.
  The problem is that this breaks horribly when you resize the thing.

I've used other toolkits that had list widgets whose title fields 
  were resources associated with the widget, and where individual
  fields within a list-element were settable.  This allowed resizing 
  of the widget without effort.  Are there plans for this for a future 
  version of Motif?

Can anyone think of any easy-to-implement workarounds?
