O.K. then, how about a XtCopyWidget() ?  This would simply the operation
greatly for those who are trying to do it, as well as reparenting.

IE:

Widget XtReparentWidget(widget, new_parent, x, y)
    Widget widget, new_parent;
    Position x, y;
    {
    Widget newwidget;

    newwidget=XtCopyWidget(widget, new_parent, x, y);

    XtDestroyWidget(widget);

    return newwidget;
    }
