X07) Resource specification errors in Xt/v1.9

Version 1.9 of the BETA interface to X (part of r4.0) solves most of the
errors appearing when using X11R6 (e.g. the errors in X04 and X05).

This is done, among other things, by introducing BooleanResource,
CharResource and ShortResource to correctly model the interface to X
resources with different physical representations.

Unfortunately a few of the resources was not converted correctly. This means
that you may get wrong behaviour when reading these resources.

To fix this you can change the following in the Xt/v1.9 sources, and
recompile the libraries (after appropriate setting of permissions):

   Change from IntegerResource to ShortResource:
      motif/rowcolumn.bet:         RowColumn.numColumns
   motif/texts.bet:             TextField.columns

   Change from IntegerResource to BooleanResource:
      awenv.bet:                   SimpleMenu.menuOnScreen
   awenv.bet:                   Paned.refigureMode
   awenv.bet:                   AsciiText.autoFill
   awenv.bet:                   AsciiText.resize
   awenv.bet:                   AsciiText.displayNonprinting
   awenv.bet:                   CoreLIB.resizable
   xtenv.bet:                   Core.mappedWhenManaged
   xtenv.bet:                   Shell.allowShellResize
   xtenv.bet:                   Shell.overrideRedirect
   xtenv.bet:                   Shell.saveUnder
   xtenv.bet:                   WMShell.input
   xtenv.bet:                   WMShell.transient
   xtenv.bet:                   WMShell.waitForWM
   xtenv.bet:                   TopLevelShell.iconic
   motif/bulletinboard.bet:     BulletinBoard.defaultPosition
   motif/lists.bet:             MotifList.automaticSelection
   motif/scale.bet:             Scale.highlightOnEnter
   motif/texts.bet:             ScrolledText.scrollVertical
   motif/texts.bet:             ScrolledText.scrollHorizontal
   motif/texts.bet:             ScrolledText.scrollLeftSide
   motif/texts.bet:             ScrolledText.scrollTopSide
   motif/texts.bet:             TextField.verifyBell
