Is anyone working on a toolkit C or C++ toolkit for NeWS?  I am building an
object editor for C++ that requires arbitrary nesting of canvases.  SunView
really only has one level of nesting and any screen worth looking at
overruns the file descriptor limit.

I don't want to expend the effort to create canvas handles, layout
arbitration, scrolling mechanisms, etc. if there is going to be a standard
toolkit.  So, is Sun or anyone working on this or should I just switch to
X11 and Stanford's "Interviews"?  Thanks.
