Why not use Motif/Lesstif? Sure, it's ugly, but I like it, it's
available with most major distributions, exists on non-Linux targets,
and a precompiled binary of OpenMotif is provided with Sun Java 1.5/Linux
Then there's the question "OpenMotif or Lesstif, hmm...", which is
answered by ./configure, and I say defult to Lesstif on Linux binaries,
Motif on solaris.
