Wasn't XFree86 discontinued years and years ago now? They made an obnoxious license change to prevent people forking it, with the result that everyone forked it one version before the license change. Shortly after that debacle their dev team disbanded.
Yes. Google Keith Packard.
In the late 1990's and early 2000's there were basically two versions of X Window. the X Window System reference release and the XFree86 release. X.Org was set up by DEC, HP, IBM, SUN, SGI, Sequent and a few other non-hardware vendors to maintain the X Window System reference implementation after the final death throes of the X Consortium.

xtnametowidget
XtNameToWidget(3Xt) MIT X11R4 XtNameToWidget(3Xt)
Name
XtNameToWidget, XtWidgetToWindow - translating strings to widgets or widgets to windows
Syntax
Widget XtNameToWidget(reference, names);
Widget reference;
String names;
Widget XtWindowToWidget(display, window)
Display *display;
Window window;
Arguments
display Specifies the display on which the window is defined.
names Specifies the fully qualified name of the desired widget.
reference Specifies the widget from which the search is to start.
window Specify the window for which you want the widget.
Description
The function looks for a widget whose name is the first component in the specified names and that is a pop-up child of reference (or a nor-
mal child if reference is a subclass of It then uses that widget as the new reference and repeats the search after deleting the first com-
ponent from the specified names. If it cannot find the specified widget, returns NULL.
Note that the names argument contains the name of a widget with respect to the specified reference widget and can contain more than one
widget name (separated by periods) for widgets that are not direct children of the specified reference widget.
If more than one child of the reference widget matches the name, can return any of the children. The Intrinsics do not require that all
children of a widget have unique names. If the specified names contain more than one component and if more than one child matches the
first component, can return NULL if the single branch that it follows does not contain the named widget. That is, does not back up and
follow other matching branches of the widget tree.
The function translates the specified window and display pointer into the appropriate widget instance.
