- I have noticed this problem too (with OLIT ver < 3.0). I suspect that this has
- something to do with the fact that XtNuserData is an Xt Core resource.
- I've had the same difficulties with other resources like XtNwidth and XtNheight,
- which are also defined in core. Possibly the OpenLook widget set does not support
- retrieval of resources that it didn't define itself (this is only a guess).
-
- Is there anyone who has faced the same problem and solved it?
