I am running into a small problem with geometery management with the RowColumn
widget and label alignment.  I am createing a RowColumn widget with the
packing set to XmPACK_COLUMN.  I am then creating a bunch of push buttons
with the alignment set to XmALIGNMENT_CENTER.  When I manage the children,
the buttons are packed properly, but they are all left justified rather than
centered.  I have found that if I manage the children first and then set
the alignment it comes out right.  Is this the correct behavior or is there
a bug with pushbuttons ignoring the alignment setting when they get a
geometry request from the parent?
                             Thanks in advance -- fred.
