Not intentionally; it's a side effect of fixing other breakage.
We currently turn off widgets in the following circumstances:
1) the user has --with-widgets=no
2) X11R4 is detected
3) we fall through to "lucid" and neither Athena nor Motif has been
detected by that point
So there's evidently something buggy in detection of Athena (or less
likely, Motif), or in the order of tests, but that is such a mess I
hesitate to fool with it. If Dan or Jan (Jan touched it last, IIRC)
wants to try....
