Indeed. I put these lines into my .Xdefaults file, and changed the 400
to 500. Voila, a larger file dialog. At least I can now see more of my
files than before. Greater values, however, make the space larger only
for the directories, but not for the files :-(
I also tried
Idl*XmFileSelectionBox.height: 450
and it worked, too.
I have no idea what XmRESIZE_GROW is.
