Here is a novice's question:

	Aren't XtNx, XtNy used as offset for a widget from the
top-left corner of its parent widget?

	I am trying to put a form widget(which has other widgets
inside it) in the middle of a viewport widget. I am providing the
coordinates of the offsets by doing:
 	   ........ ....... .....
	   ........ ....... .....
	
	XtSetArg( arg[3], XtNx, 200);
        XtSetArg( arg[4], XtNy, 100);
	
	   ....... ........ .....
	   ....... ........ .....

	Why do all the widgets gravitate towards the top left corner?
Thanx.
