In the past, AT&T sets the standard for Unix, at least it becomes the benchmark
that other Unix is compared to.  Motif seems to have the advantage, but I
wouldn't say that it has already won.  Until Openlook loses influence, the Unix
graphics standard will be scattered.  IBM's announcement of endorsement of the
NEXT interface doesn't help either.
