Whoa!  Don't do that!  First, you are not allowed to dereference a
"widget" object.  Big trouble...  Secondly, there is a macro called
XtName() that is available in X11R4 for this purpose.  However, it's
also available in XmP.h which also shouldn't be directly included
by client applications.  OSF: why not move XtName() out into the open?
