What is IDL? In your case it is apparently not Interface Definition
Language for CORBA? How does it compare to Tk?

you can reeduce the size of the widgets by redifining the default

Yes, if you use the keywords X_SCROLL_SIZE and Y_SCROLL_SIZE in the call to
WIDGET_BASE, you can then put slide bars around the entire widget.
