That would not reduce the duplication but would remove a lot of #ifdef:s. Is there a configuration that has X but not Xt? It's not clear that the only reason for the non-toolkit version is to support configurations that don't have Xt. (I don't think there ever were any such.) There might be users who prefer the non-toolkit version. However, they are probably few, and maybe it is ok to delete the non-toolkit code. I am not saying I am sure we need to keep it, only that we shouldn't look at it purely as a question of whether Xt is available.
