> Can anyone tell me the ftp site I can get xgks from?

unidata.ucar.edu [128.117.140.3] in pub/xgks.tar.Z

there is an Xgks Widget which can be found on export.lcs.mit.edu
[18.30.0.238] in contrib/xgks-widget.tar.Z (you need XGKS to use it)

XGKS creates a toplevel window for each GKS workstation created,
which you use as you would any other GKS workstation.
It implements level 2c GKS.

The widget lets you create a workstation in a widget rather than
a toplevel window.
