XtVaTypedArg?
[Last modified: July 96]

Answer: Use the XmNbackground resource to control the background color, e.g.

strcpy(bgcolor, "yellow");
XtVaSetValues(widget,
        XtVaTypedArg, XmNbackground, XtRString, bgcolor,
        strlen(bgcolor) + 1, NULL);

The length of the color string is plus one to include the null character.
XtRString is the type to be converted.  The conversion is required because
XmNbackground expects a Pixel type.
