Care to explain what parts of Motif that we took out...or 'slimmed"??

It is not clear to me that you know who the authors/contributors and
goals to the Xt intrinsics are.   Maybe you should go take another look.

If you have a problem with Digital software, report it to Digital - this
forum is here for technical excahnge.....not diatribe or shouting
contests.

BTW:  DECwindows is not a kit....it is generic name used to describe
           Digital's desktop X products and architecture   If you do not like 
           what Digital ships as a toolkit product, you're free to get the MIT
           X and/or OSF kits.  They  work fine with our workstations.
