Ohm, ohm, ohm...

Well, maybe there should be :extend-width/:extend-height?
Aesthetically, at times it is nice to "spread" items out across the
available space such as when laying out menu items equally across the
available horizontal space.

Eh?  When accepting clim:pathname, inside an accepting-values I don't
get the "Motif" file chooser, I get the normal CLIM thing (a text line
to type at).  I presume that the Motif file chooser is the widget that
allows you to walk through the file system heirarchy picking
subdirectories/files?
