Probably this post belongs more to

In X Window, windows can not be bigger than 32768.
Normally this is more than enough, but a large contents of
scrolled window could be bigger.
If you use the XmAUTOMATIC scrollbar policy, XmScrolledWindow
widget does everything for you, but your widget must be smaller
than maximum window.
If you need more, you have two paths:

1) Set XmNscrollingPolicy to XmCONSTANT, manage your own
scrollbars as needed, don't create the huge list, but just a
small "viewport" list, and update it as the scrollbar is moved.
I would not advise this way, as it is too much work.

2) Use a custom widget capable of handling big lists properly.
I am using the open source Microline widgets, XmLGrid,
used to be part of Netscape Navigator, when it was still Motif based.
Now it is included in nedit, so you can get it as part of nedit
source.
http://www.nedit.org
The Microline directory of nedit's source also contains examples
of use of widgets, and the man pages.
With XmLGrid widget, I can display a list with 100.000 entries
in my application.

Hope this helps,
