The XmNsensitive resource of the Core widget class generally controls
this sort of behavior. When True, the widget accepts user input and has
the "normal" appearance. When False, the widget no longer accepts user
input and exhibits the "greyed" appearance. The Motif Programming Reference
suggests using the XtSetSensitive function to manipulate this resource.

I haven't tried this with a simple XmLabel or an XmForm, but since they
inherit from the Core class, I think you've got a good chance of it working...
