	I'm trying to create a GC for a widget's window.  I haven't gotten
past the XCreateGC() call as of yet, due to a core dump which provides
little information for debugging purposes. I felt that something like
the following would create a GC for any widget I passed it, but I
haven't had any luck. ;-(

	GC *theGC;

	void createGC(Widget w)
	{
	    XtGCMask mask = 0;
	    XGCValues values;
	    Display *display;
	    Window window;

	    display = XtDisplayOfObject(w);
	    window = XtWindowOfObject(w);
	    *theGC = XCreateGC(display, window, mask, &values);
	}


	If anyone could provide me with some help, I would GREATLY appreciate
it.
