The OSF/Motif Application Porting Clinic Track II course from the August 1989 -
February 1990 Road Show included an example of this code. 

It's basically doing this, in pseudo-code with irrelevant arguments omitted:

 if (XmIsMotifWMRunning)
 {
 Atom our_atom = XmInternAtom (_XA_MWM_MESSAGES)
 XmAddWMProtocols (&our_atom)
 XtSetArg (arg[0], XmNmwmMenu, "Our_Restart _R Alt<Key>F2 f.send_msg 3816547290")
 XtSetValues(toplevelshell)
 XmAddProtocolCallback(our_atom, 3816547290, Restart)
 }

to set up such an extra item with mnemonics and accelerators and an 
arbitrary callback tag to be returned.
