I just licked this problem last week.  I had a kludge where I set a resource in
the .Xdefaults to prevent the user from using the close option:

Mwm*myprog*clientFunctions: -close

But using a hint from the FAQ, I came up with the answer that nazgul@alfalfa.com
provided.  Unfortunately, that didn't quite work for me.  Try this:

Widget toplevel;
Arg wargs[5];
int n;
Atom wm_delete_window;

toplevel = XtInitialize (argv[0], "myprog", NULL, 0, &argc, argv);
