            Well, you can use any widget like a simple window. You  just
        have to draw in its associated window obtained by XtWindow().

            Personnally, I use the "simplest"  widget,  i.e.  the  Label
        Widget ... but don't forget your drawings will be  erased  by  a
        mapping event ! To avoid this, use the XtNbitmap resource :  for
        example, you can draw in both the  window  and  the  pixmap  you
        associated to the widget, in order to see your drawings in "real
        time" and avoid mapping problems.
