That applies to any large code one is not used to working with, be it
based on GTK or Motif.

Please take a look at `XTflash' and decide whether or not you are
comfortable with the GTK code: it is representative of the many hoops we
go through in order to work with GTK. Ditto for the pgtk port, which I
found to somehow not be much better in this aspect.

I'm not pretending that any "extra complexity" has no impact on others,
I'm saying that the Motif support adds so negligible an amount of
complexity that it's not even possible to quantify whether or not it's
extraneous.
