after their parents were realized appear smaller under 1.2.3 and later?

Thanks to David Brooks (dbrooks@ics.com) for pointing me to Daniel Dardailler (daniel@x.org) who wrote this scholarly treatise: Application’s Geometry Management Advanced Guidelines: ===================================================== (or “How to properly manage children of already realized parent”) Xt Background: ————- XtCreateWidget: call Initialize ; XtManageChild: if (parent realized) call ChangeManaged ; call Realize ; XtRealizeWidget: postorder ChangeManaged loop ; preorder Window-creation loop ; Creating a widget only invokes its Initialize method (its parent’s InsertPosition method too, but that has nothing to do with GM). Composite widgets, by opposition to Primitive, does not usually get a correct size at initialization time, since their correct size is based on their children sizes, which do not exist yet at this time. Applications usually create an entire tree of managed but unrealized widgets and then realize their top level widget, whi
