Summary: Window widget

I was talking to Ralph Swick the other day about the problems of not
having a window widget, he and I decided that it would be a good
thing, so I wrote one.  It is a hack on the label widget, and takes an event
handler and a callback, and aclosure as arguments, this it handles its events
and you do not need to call XtAddEvent I think this is the right thing to do.
It seems to work, but I haven't had time to bash on it yet.  The design may 
change tho.  If anyone wants it let me know.

BTW there is a little know (at least to me) argument to toplevel widgets that
allows then to resize, it is called 'XtNallowtopresize' setting this to true
allows buttonboxes to do the right thing, I foud this out the hard way, just 
thought I might save some of you some headaches.
