I can't recall a case where supporting Motif, Lucid or "none" would have possibly hindered anyone to fix one of the well known bugs with GTK/GDK, Cairo and friends. OTOH, I often use Motif, Lucid and "none" to simply verify that an arbitrary feature just works or used to work and it's only the GTK or Cairo builds which break it. So I'm voting against your suggestion. martin
