When I complained at a recent IDL user's group meeting
about what an abomination the Table Widget is, I was
greeted with much sympathy. Apparently, the entire
widget suite, especially on Motif, is a millstone around
the neck of IDL. I was assured that if I kept my maintenance
dollars flowing I would be rewarded, eventually, with a
set of widgets that worked in a cross-platform manner
and in a way I would be happy with. I'm not necessarily
holding my breath, but I do see a ray of hope. :-)

Cheers,

David
