Could someone help me with this one?

I have a group of Command widgets setup with:

    XtSetArg (args[n], XtNwidth, 70); n++;

at XtCreateManagedWidget() time. The purpose is to have a set of
buttons all the same size, which looks nicer. The Command widgets are
children of either a Form or a Box widget.

A little later, I try to make the widget insensitive, by calling:

    n = 0;
    XtSetArg (args[n], XtNsensitive, 0); n++;
    XtSetValues (b, args, n);

The "sensitive" bit works fine, but the button shrinks down to its
minimum size. I tried:

    n = 0;
    XtSetArg (args[n], XtNsensitive,         yes);           n++;
    XtSetArg (args[n], XtNjustify,           XtJustifyLeft); n++;
    XtSetArg (args[n], XtNwidth,             70);            n++;
    XtSetValues (b, args, n);

To no avail. Is this a bug? Am I doing something wrong?
