I have three forms that are visually stacked vertically with each form
having several widgets laid out horizontally. All three forms have the
left-most widget left-attached to the form. The first two forms have a
XmPushButton as the left-most widget while the third form has an
XmOptionMenu as the left-most widget. The two pushbuttons are aligned
nicely with each other with a reasonable amount of margin between the
widget and the form. The XmOptionMenu has a bigger left margin so it is
not left-aligned with the other widgets. How can I rectify this?

An OptionMenu is an XmRowColumn. Check these resources of your buttons and the OpeingMenu to figure out how to get the alignment that you want:

XmNborderWidth
XmNshadowThickness
XmNentryBorder )OptionMenu)
XmNmarginWidth
XmNspacing (OptionMenu)
XmNhighlightThickness (Pushbutton)
XmNmarginLeft (Pushbutton)
Or you can just adjust the XmNleftOffset values for the buttons and option menu so that things line up correctly.
