  I don't see any DECwindows toolkit calls here, do you?

  Using the term "DECwindows" gives the impression that you are talking
about some proprietary DEC system, not the freely distributed X Window System.
There ARE people out there that do not automatically make the identification
between DECwindows and X.  Let's not confuse them further by abusing our
terminology.

By the way,
  Does anyone have an example which *really* shows how to use the DEC toolkit
to do  something simple (like make a label widget with a pixmap label) without
having to pull one's hair out?
