Ok.  I've relented.  I still claim that whether the label actually
changes size or not is a function of the constraints imposed by the
parent.  However, in R3 Xaw/LabelWidgetClass will have an additional
Boolean resource, XtNresize, to allow you to tell Label to not bother
trying to resize in it's SetValues method.  The default will be True,
to remain compatible with existing applications.
