It would be nice though if the viewport knew how much to scroll the list widget by, ie. it's kind of irritating to scroll by pixels when the list suggests a minimum size for scrolling (namely the height of an element). Maybe a new argument for the Viewport widget, something like the XtNgranularity of the XwScrolledWindow widget in the HP Xw widgets. --- Salvador Pinto Abreu BITNET/Internet: spa@hara.fctunl.rccn.pt or: FCT_SPA@PTIFM.BITNET UUCP: ...{mcvax,inria}!inesc!unl!spa PSI/VMS: PSI%(+2680)05010310::SPA ARPA: spa%hara.fctunl.rccn.pt@mitvma.mit.edu Phone: (+351) (1) 295-4464 x.0560 Fax: (+351) (1) 295-4461 Snail: Dept. de Informatica, Universidade Nova de Lisboa 2825 Monte Caparica, PORTUGAL
