Why aren't the command and label widgets subclasses of "simple"? Then
you could set a number of extra options, like the CURSOR!

Ahem.. Sorry, but having spent the last hour trying to figure out
a way to get something other than the boring "X" cursor into
my label/command/shell widgets (yeah, other than changing the root
window cursor!) I'm a little peeved. I seem to remember that this
was possible in R2, but I'm not positive.

Question: Is there really no simple way to get a different cursor
into Shell/Label/Command (especially shell) widgets short of doing
an XDefineCursor() directly or am I just being a Bonehead and missing
the obvious?


Question: Is it possible to set the label/value of a dialog widget
 after creation? We tried doing the usual XtSetValues() (XtNlabel,
XtNvalue) calls on one and it didn't change.

All this is in R3.
