Rick,
Thanks for all your help.

David, I think all of the problems that you mention in
ftp://ftp.cs.umt.edu/pub/user/dthompsn/lesstif-probs/lesstif_probs.html have
now been addressed, either with changes to LessTif or DX. The
vertical/horizontal/vertical layout problem, which seemed pretty simple on the
surface actually triggered a massive re-write of the Form code. Things are
never what they seem. I have an annotated copy of your lesstif_probs.html file
if you would like. I tried to upload it to where I got it from, but like I
suspected couldn't.
I'm currently cleaning up some work on the Options->Grid... dialog, it behaves
_very_ badly. It will also result in some Form changes, but in the process I
noticed that this thing was put together very badly (IMO), conflicting
constraints and so on, so I re-built it. After I commit the changes
someone had
better test this out with Motif to make sure it still works. The problems show
up while switching amonst the different grid types. Don't just click through
the list in order once, different things happen depending on your starting and
ending points.
The GridDialog update will close out my list of known problems with DX and
LessTif. Are there any more that I don't know about.....Checking JitterBug
shows only 1 outstanding with lesstif mentioned, bug 18, which I
think has been
addressed many times as a PATH related problem.....
Maybe now I'll sit down and actually try to use this thing :)
