Try

static XtConvertArgRec screenConvertArg[] = {
    {XtWidgetBaseOffset, (caddr_t) XtOffset(Widget, core.screen),
	sizeof(Screen *)}
};

XtSetTypeConverter(XtRString, XtRBitmap, XmuCvtStringToBitmap,
		   screenConvertArg, 1, XtCacheNone, (XtDestructor) NULL);

You want the converter to use the string from the widget that you are
converting for.

    Ratz put a bucket of liquid in front of me.
   "I wanted a glass of docs, Ratz.  What the hell is this?" I barked.
   "Motif don't fit in a glass anymore," he barked back.
    I looked at the liquid.  It was totally opaque to me.
