	I want to write an application that will let me create
and manipulate Motif widgets on a Xt Shell.  That is move the
Motif widgets around a shell or Motif bulletinboard once it has
been created.  The problem is that if I set the event handler
using XtAddEventHandler to the parent widget and pass the widget
I want to move as the client data I only see the x and y of the
widget being passed.  I dont want the x, y of the widget I want 
the x,y of the mouse.  I tried looking at every XEvent structure
and all I see is the widget and not the mouses x,y.  Does anyone
out there know how I can get the mouses x,y.  I also tried sending
a NULL as the client data and I think that is what I should do, but
then the event pointer is nil and I cant see the XEvent stuff that
I need.

Thx, victorv
