	    int *source;
	    XtInputId *id;

    I can't see any reason for passing pointers to these things, so I
    think the manual has the correct behavior and the library is
    incorrect.

The manual is incorrect.  Callbacks take pointers to things to
facilitate bindings to languages other than C (viz. Ada).  As a
different kludge to the same problem, this is also why widgets have a
pointer to self as their first component.

    Also, on the same page, XtRemoveInput() is documented as taking
    one argument: XtInputId *id.  It doesn't take a pointer.

Right.

    Have these bugs been fixed?  If so, where do I get an update?

Use a red pencil on your manual.
