  Xt isn't a "real" toolkit, it is an abstraction layer, somewhat like
GDK is to GTK. It does all the primitives tasks for the toolkit, things
like event handling/filtering, timeouts, input/signal/resource management,
basic window geometry handling, etc.

  Unfortunately there aren't too many toolkits based on Xt, basically
Motif and Xaw.

  I use Xaw, and have been mantaining the version distributed with XFree86
for some years. Since I am working alone on it (mostly in my free time),
there aren't too many improvements because I am only working in the Text
widget and xedit. But anybody is free to help. There is a really large
amount of things to be done, from simple tasks like optimization and bug
hunting, to some complex tasks like making Xaw multi-thread safe or fully
internationalized. There are some relatively complex things that I would
like to see, including support to render (transparent widgets and antialised
text support wouldn't be a bad idea), xcursor, etc.
