I figured that the vanilla Xaw would be less inclined to "Xaw variants
problems" than Xaw3d.

Oops.  Mised that.  Thanks!

I guess it depends upon your point of view.  "xaw" is a client (it has a
subdirectory in ./client), but "xaw3d" is just a variant (it does not have
a subdirectory in ./client).  It's more like "--with-efence".  Again, this
is just from my point of view.  Others?
