The R4 widget should do what you ask.  If a child of the Pane asks for a resize
and the Pane allows it to resize (XtNallowResize is TRUE) the it performs
the following:

1) Resize all children to their "preferred size".

2) Attempt to resize the Pane to accomadate the new size change.

And if necessary:

3) Forcibly resize the other children according to the rules outlined
   in section 6.4.4 of the R4 Athena Widget Documentation.

If you can send me an example program of different behavior then I will take a
look at it.
