Its been forever since I did any C, but I believe this should fix the segfault on window close,
according to man XtGetValues,

The value field of a passed argument list should contain the address into which to store the corresponding resource value.

And got rid of a malloc while there as well...

[edit 2]
The game of whack a mole continues, It appears the main issue with the original code was that
it would copy a 16 bit short into a 32 bit XtArgVal, leaving 16 bits uninitialized, then reading the 32 bit value later would make things unhappy...

I renamed args_to_pairs, since the 2 no longer expect the same kind of Arg,
the latter expects args filled with pointers, while the former expects args filled with values.
and widget_values_get is the only caller of xt_args_to_pairs.

sorry for the churn.

widget_values_get(): store values in an XtArgVal array initialized to zero.
