When I compiled SQSH 1.7 on my computer to use the Xaw library, the
scrollbars wouldn't appear on the X output window when I executed a big
query.
I looked at the code, and it was using XawtextScrollWhenNeeded value for
the XtNscrollVertical property.  When I changed it to use
XawtestScrollAlways, the scrollbars appear.  This also appeared to be a
problem (though I didn't look at the source) with xless, and (I would
presume) other Xaw applications.

Source that causes problem:
	w_text = XtVaCreateManagedWidget( "text", asciiTextWidgetClass, w_form,
		XtNdisplayCaret,      FALSE,
		XtNtop,               XtChainTop,
		XtNvertDistance,      5,
		XtNhorizDistance,     5,
		XtNleft,              XtChainLeft,
		XtNright,             XtChainRight,
		XtNwidth,             200,
		XtNheight,            100,
		XtNscrollHorizontal,  XawtextScrollWhenNeeded,
		XtNscrollVertical,    XawtextScrollWhenNeeded,
		XtNeditType,          XawtextAppend,
		NULL );
Source that works around problem:
	w_text = XtVaCreateManagedWidget( "text", asciiTextWidgetClass, w_form,
		XtNdisplayCaret,      FALSE,
		XtNtop,               XtChainTop,
		XtNvertDistance,      5,
		XtNhorizDistance,     5,
		XtNleft,              XtChainLeft,
		XtNright,             XtChainRight,
		XtNwidth,             200,
		XtNheight,            100,
		XtNscrollHorizontal,  XawtextScrollAlways,
		XtNscrollVertical,    XawtextScrollAlways,
		XtNeditType,          XawtextAppend,
		NULL );
