What version of IDL are you running!? This code creates
a stack of buttons all the same size on both my Windows
and UNIX machines:

tlb = Widget_Base(/COLUMN)
b = Widget_Button(tlb, Value='12')
b = Widget_Button(tlb, Value='1234')
b = Widget_Button(tlb, Value='123456')
b = Widget_Button(tlb, Value='12345678')
b = Widget_Button(tlb, Value='1234567890')
b = Widget_Button(tlb, Value='123456789012')
b = Widget_Button(tlb, Value='12345678901234')
b = Widget_Button(tlb, Value='1234567890123456')
Widget_Control, tlb, /realize
END

Cheers,

David
