In the last version of texx2 I noticed that when the asciiStringWidget
that I use for error messages fills up, it doesn't scroll (in part
because I don't set the ``point'' or whatever it's called).

but one thing I noticed was that when I paged foreward using the
scroll bar, it didn't get replotted correctly -- I had to hit
control-L for it to replot.

On a similar note, how do I determine the width of the scrollbar widgets
within a viewport? I think I should use XtGetSbvalues, but I'm not certain
and it's unclear how I'm supposed to specify the sub-widgets.

texx2 is now at 2.5, with diffs to get from 2.4 -> 2.5. Files are available on
	expo.lcs.mit.edu:contrib
or
	a.cs.uiuc.edu:pub/TeX

This version fixes a replotting problem that occurs when not using 
backing store when windows are mapped. If you're not using backing store
and can, you should -- you can scroll the viewport very smoothly, instead
of the jerky motion if it's forced to redisplay.
