Read section 6.3.4 of the Athena widget set manual, and do what it says
there, or, unmanage the child, set the approprate resources on the
child widget, and then manage the child.

XtMoveWidget is used in writing constraint widgets.  It is not used
by applications to move the children of constaint widgets.
