The FORTRAN theory:  If it looks good, put it in :-)

There are powerful forces on both the MOTIF and OpenLook sides
in the current struggle.  Neither Look & Feel seems to be
capable of winning this millenium :-).  We should remember that
portability was one of the original founding theories of this
whole mess.  To facilitiate this, a vendor should ship the
window manager of his choice (ICCCM compliant), plus the libraries
for BOTH OpenLook and MOTIF.  So far as I can tell, an OpenLook
program functions and looks just fine in a MOTIF border.  Of course,
MOTIF will need those silly push-pins from OpenLook.  I don't care,
I'm just a user, make it work!
