OK, I checked the file: the notes on Xaw are very confusing, and it's
not quite clear to me how they relate to my request...

Anyways, I recently tried the GTK client again, and it got *much* better
since when I first tried it a couple of years ago. While the Xaw client
has detoriated over the past years, the GTK client got some really nice
features. As a result, although I still prefer Xaw over GTK, I'll
probably be using the GTK client in the future -- so I do not really
care about the Xaw packaging anymore...
