HELP, I'm getting very frustrated. I'm using Athena widgets with X11
for my user interface. Right now I'm in the learning stage and am
trying to modify some simple example programs. One has a popup menu
with three command buttons. They are stacked vertically. I can't
get them to position themselves end to end. I've tried using

	XtSetArg(arg[0], XtNx, x_pos);

and if I do a

	XtGetValues( button, arg, ONE);

the x position is the value I set but the buttons still stack
vertically. If I try and make the box widget that holds the buttons
wide enough for them with a

	XtSetArg(arg[0], XtNwidth, plenty_wide );

I just get a core dump when XtCreateManagedWidget() is called.

Can anyone offer some advice here on things to try?
Thanks in advance.
