That is one of the things at the top of my list. I have some old code
lying around from when I was learning how to use Xt, and I'll try and
clean it up, make it look spiffy and work with the rest of lwlib.
Other things I wish to do to lwlib are fix the menu redraws and deal
with the pull-right/pull-left gap problem. Anybody else have pet
peeves?
Long menus don't fit on the screen. The code needs to create
"more..." buttons, or let the menu scroll or something. I
hacked this in once at the menu parsing level, but decided that
it belonged down in lwlib, but haven't gotten back to it.
