   libXaw is delivered by FSWxorg-clientlibs. That used to be a part of earlier
   OpenSolaris releases but got dropped later. As a result the libXaw libs
   disappeared.

   If it were included you could have tried experimenting thus:
   cd /usr/X11/lib
   ln -s libXaw.so.6 libXaw.so.5

   This appears to be something that can go into FOX.
