          titleBar = XtCreateShell("progname", "progclass", commandWidgetCLass,
     				display, arg, XtNumber(arg) );

           This is where it is dying. Everything compiles fine, but I get an
           XtToolkit Error: Can't find per display information.

There is no such procedure in our version of Xt.  The procedures
XtCreateApplicationShell and XtAppCreateShell both require the
widget class to be a subclass of Shell.
           
           Is it possible to NOT have the toolkit do any of the startup stuff
           like opening the display, parsing caommand line etc...

Yes; read section 2.1 of the R3 specification.

           I've already done all that, I just want to use a few of the widgets

You will still have to register your display with Xt and create a
shell widget before you will get much additional help from the Toolkit.
