Does anyone have any (brief) opinions about the toolkit(s) avaliable under X-Windows
for implementing buttons, toggles, editable text windows, and other such useful
devices?  I have spent about a week writing a few of them myself with impressively
robust and rapid results; however, I'd rather not write an entire layer of user
interface code for the sake of one project.  For comparison, I have programmed
both Microsoft Windows and Sapphire (Carnegie-Mellon's SPICE project) with
distaste because the amount of work to bring up a mock version usually accounted
for 20% of the total project's effort.  Ok.  That is an exaggeration, but it is fair
to place X-Windows in a category beyond those other environments.

So, any ideas or pointers to RFC's about toolkits?
