Hi all,

I've sent a couple of questions/suggestions to the persons suggested
by the xrn man pages, several times in fact, but they've been ignored.

Can anyone tell me:

 - if it's possible to have the scrollbar come up on the right 
   hand side like it used to

-  is there any way to make said scrollbar wider

-  The third (rightmost) mouse button clicked in the scrollbar region
   causes the text to scroll back in all (other) applications I know
   of but, for some reason, this also changed at or near 6.17.  Now
   you have to click button 1 _above_ the scrollbar to make it scroll
   back.  Is this changeable?

I also asked xrn-users-request@eros.berkeley.edu to add me to the mailing 
list as the man page suggests but this too was ignored, it seems.  Is there
such a list, and if so how could I get on it?

ANY help appreciated,

Duane

The things that you mention don't really have anything to do with xrn,
they are attributes of the widgets that xrn uses. The first doesn't
seem to be changeable. I think that the second is changeable by setting
XRn*Scrollbar.Thickness however I haven't tested this. The third
request is peculiar because the behavior you describe isn't standard,
all I can guess is that xrn hasn't been compiled against the Xaw
widgets.
