       175  #define ERRORDB "/usr/lib/X11/XtErrorDB"

     Is this a copy of the /usr/lib/X11/XErrorDB file?
    Or, is there another file for this somewhere that will
    show Xt error messages as well?

The XtErrorDB is supposed to be in the same format as the XErrorDB
but the contents are completely different.  We (MIT) have never
actually created or shipped this file (an oversight).  The closest
thing that exists, short of extracting from the Xt sources directly,
is Appendix D of the Xt spec.

    What about Widget
    set error databases?

A fine idea.  Contributions gratefully accepted :-)

Note that unless you actually modify the text of an error message
there's little point in having an additional file; you'll just use
more memory at run-time.
