🚀 go-pugleaf

I have a simple graphics program that plots points of lines.
However, when i run it I get this message:

X Toolkit Warning: Form: The reference widget was not found.
X Toolkit Warning: Form: The reference widget was not found.

despite the fact that I appear to have taken care of that in my .Xdefaults
file. the weird thing is I only get this message on the schools VAXes.
When i ported it over to my prof DEC3100 it worked fine placing the menus
at top and the canvas below. On the Vaxes, the menus overlap on the 
canvas-I guess b/c they are not attached. Why is there the diffrence.
Below is part of the code, creating the widgets as well as the
relevant resource file.

thanks for any help
