./configure --help should provide all necessary pointers. In case of  
libXaw3d nothing is needed, i.e. not choosing motif or gtk (or carbon  
or ns), except that the library has to be found during the configure  
stage. At its end some general findings are reported.

This is meant to create an old and very pleasing look&feel. It's  
synonymous with athena, i.e. it uses libXaw for buttons, menus, and  
scroll-bars, or libXaw3d if this library *and* its header files are  
found.

Certainly not. You should investigate this phenomenon, best when you  
launch GNU Emacs with -Q, i.e. without your customisation (which  
might introduce errors). There are also X resources that have an  
impact on Emacs' look. Particularly when using GTK you have a special  
editor to set so many details that after some weeks you can ask  
yourself: what real work have I done?
