I am using 3 Core widgets within a form widget.  The form widget is
within a scrollable viewport widget.  Each Core widget contains a
different color image that I am trying to display.  I pass arguments
to XtNfromVert and XtNvertDistance to tell the form widget where to
place the Core widgets.  As far as I can tell, XtNvertDistance works
ok, but no matter what I tell it, XtNfromVert seems to assume that the
distance is from the top edge of the form rather than from the Core
widget whose id I pass as an argument.  Am I doing something wrong?
If this is a bug, can someone please suggest a way around this?  I
must be able to display all 3 Core widgets simultaneously.
