Yes.

Motif/lesstif no. Gtk or Qt (or both if the Qt licensing weren't so
fucked) are preferable.
Well, we talked about this before... The big problem is that neither
gtk or Qt use Xt, and therfore all the resource-related code and event
loops would need to be rewritten. I for one would be more interested
in spending the time to really understand/rewrite/cleanup lwlib than
deal with the other headaches. I *like* the look and feel of lwlib
(if a couple of minor nits could be worked out of them). After my
current round of windmill tilting is done, I'll have a look at them.
I'd like to keep them, so I guess I'll do the maintaining.
