For Lesstif/Motif/Athena there are DrawingArea type widgets one can use, but for Lucid it is needed. One idea I am contemplating is to make a drawing area widget for Lucid in lwlib, and then we can mostly discard the stuff in widget.c and instead use the drawing area as just any X window (like the GTK port does). This should reduce the amount of code a bit. There may be issues with toolbar and/or menubar, I haven't looked at that yet. Jan D.
