On page 31 of X Toolkit Widgets there is documented a function called
XtDialogCreate()...there is no such animal in libX11.a or libXaw.a.

There is no font resource for the Dialog Widget or for buttons; am I correct?
Will there be?

Does anyone have any spiffy buttons.  Buttons with round ends or radio buttons?

Lastly, I noticed that when resizing a widget that contained other widgets and
labels that the bitmap representing the label became distorted.  At first I
thought that the font had somehow been changed but then found there is no font
resource.  I think there is a counting error during resizing that affects the
bitmap, thereby distorting the label.

Below is the program I was foolin' around with. Compile in the usual way and
resize it a few times.  Did the appearance of the labels change for you?
