I am using XQueryPointer and XtWindowToWidget to get the widget at the current 
location of the pointer.  I need to get the name of the returned widget.  I am
using X11R3 so I can't use XtName that is available in X11R4 and Motif1.01.

If I create a widget like:

	button = XtCreateWidget("Button", XmPushButtonWidgetClass, parent, args,
                                argcnt);

How can I retrieve the widget name "Button"?

Right now I am trying to access the widget structure like:

	printf("widget's name: %s\n", button->core.name);

but I get a segmentation fault.  Looking at it with gdb, I get a valid address
for button, but button->core is bogus.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
