But the HP widgets don't work with the R3 intrinsics; try to compile
and invoke the test programs for the HP widgets.  Some get a
segmentation fault; some just display garbage.

One problem is that the HP widgets declare resources with representation
types that conflict with the representation types of resources in
the widget class's superclass (e.g. width, hight, and border_width are
declared as "int", but are actually of type "Dimension", i.e. "unsigned
 short").

Call the "vpw13" test program and watch all the "Representation type FOO must
match superclass's to override BAR" messages.

Simply replacing "int" by "dimension" doesn't work.

Does someone have the necessary fixes?
