According to my Motif manual, all the basic object classes (i.e.,
XmGadget, XmPrimitive, XmManager) except Shell have a XmNuserData
resource of type caddr_t.  You can put a pointer to anything you want
in here.  This resource is inherited by all the non-shell Motif
widgets and gadgets.

DECwindows Toolkit widgets have a similar resource called
DwtNuserData.  According to the DECwindows manual, this "specifies any
user private data to be associated with the widget."
