I am currently converting an application from a custom, in-house
widget set to Motif(1.1).  This will require me to greatly extend the
existing XmList capability.  My question is this:  Is it possible to
create a new widget class which is subclassed off of XmList such that
XmList is never instanced but is treated as a meta-class where all of
its existing methods are inherited by the new widget class?  Or, do I
have to do as it suggests in O'Reilly, Volume 4, which is basically
copying the existing widget to a new widget and extending it from there?
Any hints are greatly appreciated.

Joe
