As far as I'm concerned, you could/should drop Xaw completely.  GTK is 
extremely portable these days.

If you really want to do this, the Linuxconf folks have already
written a layer that may or may not be appropriate.  The LyX folks are 
apparently working on such a thing as well, as are a few other
groups.  It seems a popular thing to be doing these days, but I'd
suggest just going for GTK.
