Check out the InterViews toolkit on the X11 distribution tape.  It
provides EXACTLY the sort of composition you mention, and a whole lot
more besides.

Briefly, InterViews is an object-oriented user interface toolkit
written in C++.  It runs on either X10 or X11, and on MicroVAX or
Sun 3 workstations.

If you don't have the X11R2 tape, you can get InterViews by -

    1. anonymous ftp from lurch.stanford.edu
    2. sending a "stamped, self-addressed tape" to
