Thanks, much! It worked to put the togglebutton inside it's own vbox,
then the vbox and the frame in the hbox.
I do hope to find a solution that does not require such extra widgets,
(even though I know boxes are light-weight).
My application tends to stretch the limits of X performance -- if some accursed user
decides to open up all ~800 steps, each with one of these togglebuttons, this solution
adds yet another 800 boxes to the mess... Maybe I should try growing potatoes instead.
Thanks again,
George
