When I add a push button to a previously empty option menu, the
option menu doesn't extend itself to the size of the text. When I
press on the option menu the pulldown entry size is correct, but
even when the menu shows a selected item it doesn't expand to show
all the text. Is there some way to force it to resize to fit the
length of the text?
I've tried XtQueryGeometry on the pulldown to then
XtMakeResizeRequest on the option menu with the values from the
pulldown, but that doesn't seem to make it budge.
What am I missing?

Re .0:
Known restriction. I don't think there's a fix, nor do I believe there
will be one, but you can hack around by specifying a dummy string of
the appropriate length at creation time. Kind of brain damaged, I
agree.

PS: Such question are probably more relevant to CLT::DECWTOOLKIT or
HARBOR::DECWINDOWS_PROGRAMMING.

Well in that case, I'd like to make dynamic option menu entry box
resizing a wish list item, for all those DECwindows developers out
there. Actually, it would be nice if the option menu had the
conform_to_text attribute that the pulldown menu entry has.
