			==Maya for Linux Dialog Formatting Bug==
			Unfortunately there's a bug in the MEL implementation in Maya for Linux such that widget control group boxes do not necessarily automatically size themselves to fit the widgets they contain as the Windows version does, unless they've been explicitly told to do this. The script '''sculpt.mel''' available at the link above will have to be hand-modified to account for this difference, so that it works on Linux installations of Maya. This bug has been present in Maya since version 6.

			In the MEL script, in the global procedure '''llSculptEditor()''', replace this line:
			scrollLayout;
			with this one:
			scrollLayout -childResizable 1 -defineTemplate DefaultTemplate;
			and all will be well.
