A couple of questions from a first time user of widgets

1. I define a title bar to span a form widget as follows:

/***
 TitleBar
 ***/
  static Arg arglist2[] = {
    {XtNxRefName, (XtArgVal) "Xrolo"},
    {XtNyRefName, (XtArgVal) "Xrolo"},
    {XtNstring, (XtArgVal) titleString},
    {XtNxAttachRight, (XtArgVal) TRUE},
    {XtNxAttachOffset, (XtArgVal) 5},
    {XtNxReE},
  };
	.
	.

/***
 set up the widgets
 ***/

  toplevel=XtInitialize("main","ROlo",NULL,NULL,&argc,argv); 

  form1 = XtCreateManagedWidget ("Xrolo", XwformWidgetClass,
                                 toplevel, (ArgList) arglist1, 0);


  tbar1 = XtCreateManagedWidget ("title1", XwtitlebarWidgetClass,
                                 form1, (ArgList) arglist2, XtNumber(arglist2));


 The title bar gets truncated on the right by the form1 widget, shouldn't
 the form widget resize itself to fit the full titlebar ?

2. Also in the same code if I use 

	{XtNxRefWidget (XtArgVal) form1},

   in arglist2, I get a segv error, if I use

	{XtNxRefWidget (XtArgVal) &form1},

   I get an error msg from XCreateManagedWidget, saying that the referenced
   widget is not a form or child of the form. I'm confused, RefName works
   perfect.

The full program is fairly large so I have omitted it but (hopefully) 
included enough info here, toplevel, form1 and tbar1 are all declared
as Widget (not Widget *).
