If there is some reason you are not, you could call
XtInitializeWidgetClass on the VendorShell class (or any subclass
of XmPrimitive or XmManager).  These widgets call XmRegisterConverters
in their class_initialize methods.

One reason you might want to do this is so you can use the XtVaTypedArg
stuff when you create your first toplevel widget.
