Hmmm. It is not clear to me if you are getting this error with or without the
patch to Scrollbar.c and with which version of Xaw3d.

Here is my experience:

=> I was getting this error from gv *after* Xaw3d-1.6 upgrade.

=> In the attempt to understand what was going on, I recompiled gv against
   Xaw3d-1.6 and got the compilation error:

      Scrollbar.c: In function 'Redisplay':
      Scrollbar.c:1009:4: error: too few arguments to function 
'swclass->threeD_class.shadowdraw'

   This was fixed by the patch I mention and gv recompiled and worked just
   fine with Xaw3d-1.6.

=> Then I upgraded to Xaw3d-1.6.1 and gv segfaulted with:

     Warning: Representation size 4 must match superclass's to override 
unsetFrameStyle
     Warning: Representation size 2 must match superclass's to override 
shadowWidth
     Warning: Representation size 2 must match superclass's to override 
internalWidth
     Warning: Cannot convert string "0" to type Dimension
     Segmentation fault (core dumped)

   In this case, rebuilding gv (with Scrollbar.c patched) against
   Xaw3d-1.6.1 did not help: gv built just fine, without errors, but
   still segfaulted upon running, with the same error message...

HTH
