I have another novice type question.

I was trying to create two semi-independent widgets in the same application 
and I did what seemed to be the obvious thing -- I created two widgets
under toplevel, one of type compositeWidgetClass and the other 
asciiStringWidgetClass -- and it didn't work.  Every time the one which
I declare first is the only one to appear, and it performs entirely as
expected.  Also, it is ignoring the XtNx and XtNy fields in the
ArgLists.   I know I can get these two windows as subwindows of a VPaned
or some such, but I was hoping the have them independent.
Do I need to do something special to do that?
Thanks in advance.


Here is the main of the routine if it helps.

void main(argc, argv)
unsigned int argc;
char **argv;
{
  Widget toplevel;

  static Arg typingArgList[] = {
    {XtNstring, (XtArgVal) default_value},
    {XtNeditType, (XtArgVal) XttextEdit},
    {XtNtextOptions, 0},
    {XtNx,         (XtArgVal)100},
    {XtNy,         (XtArgVal)200},
    {XtNwidth,     (XtArgVal)50},
    {XtNheight,    (XtArgVal)100},
  };
  static Arg drawingArgList[] = {
    {XtNx,         (XtArgVal)100},
    {XtNy,         (XtArgVal)200},
    {XtNwidth,     (XtArgVal)50},
    {XtNheight,    (XtArgVal)100},
  };
  
  toplevel = XtInitialize("textTest", "Demo", table, XtNumber(table),
			  &argc, argv);
  
  XtGetApplicationResources(toplevel, &app_resources,
			    resources,XtNumber(resources), 
			    NULL, 0);

  /* set up the drawing widget. */
  Drawing = XtCreateManagedWidget("drawing",compositeWidgetClass,toplevel,
				  drawingArgList,XtNumber(drawingArgList));

  /* Set up the typing widget. */
  typingArgList[0].value = (XtArgVal) default_value;
  if (app_resources.word_wrap) typingArgList[2].value = wordBreak;
  
  Typing = XtCreateManagedWidget("typing",asciiStringWidgetClass,toplevel, 
				 typingArgList, XtNumber(typingArgList) );

  XtRealizeWidget(toplevel);
  XtMainLoop();
}
