	Is there any way get at the compiled and merged set of resources
    that Xt uses for widgets?

XtDatabase() will give you a handle for the merged resource
database constructed by Xt.

	1. only deal with resource names that are compiled in
	2. not deal with requests with emedded dots

In Xt, the name/class separators correspond to an arbitrary
Object hierarchy.  You can fetch these resources in multiple
ways, but the way that looks most like your code example is
XtGetApplicationResources().  Applications can easily "compile in"
their own resources.
