Adding event handlers to the root window.

Is there a way to add Xt R4 event handlers to windows and not just widgets?
I would rather avoid open up the XtAppMainLoop() and dispatch non-widget
events myself if possible. I'm using properties to share data among loosely
coupled processes, registering the property in the root window which is not 
a widget. Would it possible to convert a window to widget using 
XtWindowToWidget() and than using the XtAddEventHandler() mechanism.
