I don't see any way around this. If that is the case, then the Xaw replacement libraries have failed miserably, and are effectively useless. :( If they have been changing the _public_ structures, that is very very bad. That is why everything is split into different header files like Label.h and LabelP.h. Changing LabelP.h should be kosher, but Label.h should never change.
