    Sometimes I'm incredibly slow, but I can't find any way to get a list of
    a widget's children except by accessing the fields of the widget instance

As of X11R4, you can use XtGetValues on the XtNchildren and XtNnumChildren
resources.  (Don't try to set 'em; you're supposed to treat them as
read-only.)
