Well, because I spent eight years writing C++/Motif code in a previous
job, and I haven't learned Gtk yet.

And because one reason for this project is the number of people who
complained that the Gtk version was significantly slower than the Xaw
version.

And because I HATE the way Gtk applications look and work.  I *really*
like the Motif interface.

We're planning on putting the Gtk interface back in also, and probably
a few others.  We're not getting rid of it.  It was just easier for me
to use Lesstif during my development.

And, most of all, because I was the one who stepped up and said "I'll
do it!" ;-)
