Glad to hear it. I'll cross those off my list. If I recall correctly this
should leave only the "Dialog Style" problem of the missing separators and the
extra scrollbars. Well, I spent all of last night on this one.....don't hold
your breath. This is dealing with the WorkSpace widget, which is a sub-class of
XmForm. Not only is it a sub-class but some of the key geometry handling
methods get replaced. Not only that, but some of XmForms replaced methods get
put back while switching modes. Needless to say this is a bit of a nightmare to
try to follow. XmForm is one of the widgets that I know for a fact is different
on the inside than the Motif version. When WorkSpace starts playing with the
insides, I think it is grabbing the wrong pieces with the LessTif version. I
noticed in David's .jpg's that the separators don't look correct in the initial
style with Motif either, the separator is flush on the right but offset on the
left. That being the case, I may just re-work this whole switch bit :(
