Subject: Bug in Athena scrollbar widget (float resource)

The srollbar widget has resources of the representation type XtRFloat
(e.g. `shown').  These resources are declared as `float'.

This is wrong; it is impossible to set a resource of type `float'
using XtSetValues() (for instance, a float cannot be assigned to an
XtArgVal).  The type should be float* instead.

(By the way, is this the reason why the widget class exports a function
XtScrollbarSetThumb, which would not be necessary if one could set
the resources directly? :-)
