The $widget->update doesn't do the trick. And the link talks about querying the widget for its spec. That's not what I'm trying to do.

The DialogBox *does* size properly to a by b in the "a*b+c+d".

The DialogBox does not position properly to "in cx" and "down b" in the "a*b+c+d".

I'd like to know how to get DialogBox not to ignore (c,d).
