As I said, I haven't done any GTK+ myself since 1.x -- I'm way
out-of-date.

I know.

But some programs that run under XFCE (e.g., Acrobat Reader, StarOffice,
etc...), at least earlier versions, are Motif and other Xt-based.  Some
may still be, but they look for either GNOME or, hopefully, GTK+.

And that seemingly includes the xterm that xfterm4 wraps too.

Okay, I stand corrected.  When I first looked at ROX 3-4 years ago, they
stated they used both Xt and GTK+ -- largely based on Xt with select GTK
+ features.
