Note that we have chosen to call the input callback list by the generic
name, <function>callback</function>, rather than a specific name.  If widgets that define
a single user-input action all choose the same resource name then there
is greater possibility for an application to switch between widgets of
different types.

The private header file contains the complete declaration of the class
and instance structures for the widget and any additional private data
that will be required by anticipated subclasses of the widget.
Information in the private header file is normally hidden from the

The private header file includes the private header file of its
superclass, thereby exposing the entire internal structure of the widget.
It may not always be advantageous to do this; your own project
development style will dictate the appropriate level of detail to expose
in each module.

The "WindowWidget" needs to declare two fields in its instance structure to
hold the drawing colors, a resource field for the font and a field for the
expose and user input callback lists:
