I am trying to make a Form widget with three daughter widgets like
this:

	+------+------+
	|    Label    |
	+------+------+
	|      |      |
	| Form | Form |
	|______|______|

but I keep winding up with this:

	+------++-----+
	| Label |     |
	+------++-----+
	|      |      |
	| Form | Form |
	|______|______|

I can't find any way, short of setting the initial size of the Label
widget to some large value, to center the Label in the enclosing Form.
I have tried setting
	XtNright <- XtChainRight
	XtNleft <- XtChainLeft
in the Label widget, with no change in behavior, and I think that
makes sense, but it still doesn't solve my problem.

With the HP Widget set, in order to span the width of a form, the constraint 
resources XtNxAttachRight and XtNxResizable must both be set to TRUE.
