Yes.

I agree.  That's what I'm saving 1.8 for.  I want to release 1.7.2
as the last Xaw-only version, then work towards 1.8 being an Xaw/GTK+
version.

Well, the port is finished in that it runs on GTK+ fine, but I still
would like to see only one set of client code, that goes through a layer
to determine which widget set to use.

When and if this is done, I think it would be ready for prime time.
