Many Motif resources have resources whose actual C type is
a Widget ID, but whose "resource type" is XmRWindow:

	BulletinBoard: defaultButton, cancelButton
    Form:  topWidget, bottomWidget, leftWidget, rightWidget
	List: horiz. & vertical scrollbars
    MainWindow: command window, menuBar, messageWindow
    ScrolledWindow: horiz. & vertical scrollbars, workWindow, clipWindow

Why don't these use XmRWidget as their resource type?
