	Thanks to everyone who replied to my question.  I received many replies
suggesting I do a XtGetValues on the XmNchildren, and XmNnumChildren resources
of the composite widget class.  Unfortunately I have Motif 1.0 which is still
under R3.  The *children resources were introduced with R4.  Until I get Motif
1.1 it was suggested that I "cheat a little" and do the following: (Which seems
to work fine by the way...) 

#include <X11/IntrinsicP.h>
#include <X11/Intrinsic.h>
#include <X11/Composite.h>
#include <X11/CompositeP.h>
WidgetList GetChildren(w)
    CompositeWidget w;
{
    return w->composite.children;
}
int GetNumChildren(w)
    CompositeWidget w;
{
    return w->composite.num_children;
}
