Pardon me if this is a stupid question:  How can I tell under Motif/X when
a user has selected the "Close" item on the system menu attached to the 
top-level shell?  As far as I can tell a ClientMessage gets generated
and then the application exits.  All fine and dandy, but I need to intercept
that message so that I can perform my own exit calls before letting Motif
continue -- or after, actually.  Do I need to add some kind of event
handler for XtDispatchEvent to call?

Specific info would be appreciated.

While I'm at it:  we're running Motif on top of XR4.  The docs say Motif
was designed to work with R3.  Am I going to run into any major difficulties?
