	Has anyone out there built a Presentation Manager API on top of
	X or the X Toolkit?  What about a set of X Toolkit widgets that
	emulates the PM look-and-feel?

Last week at the Sybase Users Group Meeting in Berkeley, Bill Gates (so
it's straight from the horse's mouth :-) said that Microsoft/HP "have
implemented" (which I guess mean "coming to a machine near you") what
they call PMX, which is the Presentation Manager for Unix, built as an
X Toolkit (not sure if the `X' is for `Unix' or `X' ;-).

No idea when you can buy it (I asked him later, he said "Dunno, I mean,
it's gonna be a product, and it's done") or how much it will cost, but
it sounds like exactly what you are looking for.
