I want to point out that, although probably very few people still use the XView 
applications in the xview-clients package (like cmdtool), there still exist 
some important XView tools, mainly in the scientific / medical area, which are 
not easy to replace. Even less by free software. As for myself, I am a 
developer of such an application, and received a report about the problem with 
Ubuntu.
This comes from the fact that those software has originally  been developed on 
Sun Solaris machines, where the XView toolkit was being used. Some of these 
applications had been ported to Linux when PCs became cheaper than Sun 
workstations. I hope they will continue to work in the future.
