I'm sure this is an oversimplification, but tell me what you think:

Widget rc, list;

rc = XtVaCreateManagedWidget ("rowcol",
  	 xmRowColumnWidgetClass,  toplevel,
  	 XmNwidth, 200,
  	 XmNheight, 200,
  	 NULL);

list = XtVaCreateManagedWidget ("list",
        xmListWidgetClass, rc,
    	 XmNrightAttachment, XmATTACH_WIDGET,
    	 XmNrightWidget, rc,
    	 XmNleftAttachment, XmATTACH_WIDGET,
    	 XmNleftWidget, rc,
    	 XmNtopAttachment, XmATTACH_WIDGET,
    	 XmNtopWidget, rc,
    	 NULL);
