  19.           Composite widgets are intended to be containers for other
  20.           widgets and can have an arbitrary number of children.  Their
  21.           responsibilities (implemented either directly by the widget
  22.           class or indirectly by Intrinsics functions) include:
  23.  
  24.  
  25.             +o  Overall management of children from creation to
  26.                destruction.
  27.  
  28.             +o  Destruction of descendants when the composite widget is
  29.                destroyed.
  30.  
  31.             +o  Physical arrangement (geometry management) of a
  32.                displayable subset of managed children.
  33.  
  34.             +o  Mapping and unmapping of a subset of the managed
  35.                children.  Instances of composite widgets need to
  36.                specify the order in which their children are kept.
  37.                For example, an application may want a set of command
  38.                buttons in some logical order grouped by function, and
  39.                it may want buttons that represent filenames to be kept
  40.                in alphabetical order.

  54.           attributes for this widget.  To reference a resource by name
  55.           or by class in a .Xdefaults file, remove the XXXXmmmmNNNN or XXXXmmmmCCCC
  56.           prefix and use the remaining letters.  To specify one of the
  57.           defined values for a resource in a .Xdefaults file, remove
  58.           the XXXXmmmm prefix and use the remaining letters (in either

  109.           Composite widgets that allow clients to order their children
  110.           (usually homogeneous boxes) can call their widget instance's
  111.           insert_position procedure from the class's insert_child
  112.           procedure to determine where a new child should go in its
  113.           children array.  Thus, a client of a composite class can
  114.           apply different sorting criteria to widget instances of the
  115.           class, passing in a different insert_position procedure when
  116.           it creates each composite widget instance.
  117.  
  118.           The return value of the insert_position procedure indicates
  119.           how many children should go before the widget.  Returning
  120.           _z_e_r_o indicates that the widget should go before all other
  121.           children; returning num_children indicates that it should go
  122.           after all other children.  The default insert_position
  123.           function returns num_children and can be overridden by a
  124.           specific composite widget's resource list or by the argument
  125.           list provided when the composite widget is created.
