282) Why does XtGetValues for XmNx and XmNwidth return extremely

large values?

Answer: You must use the 16 bit "Dimension" and "Position" data types for your
arguments.  If you use 32 bit integers, some implementations will fill the
remaining 16 bits with invalid data, causing incorrect return values.  The
*Motif Programmer's Manual* and the widget man pages specify the correct data
type for each resource.
