Sorry if I say here a complete bullshit, I assume that I dont have enough 
skills to speak about it. But I understand, is that GTK and QT are fullfill 
of features to help the programmer, and Xaw is poor in features and the 
programmer must do it by hand. If so, it is easy to say that Xaw have almost 
no bugs compared to QT or GTK. It is easy to say that my program below is bug 
free

void main(void) { }

As discussing about KDExGnome, GTKxQt, WindowsxLinux, etc etc etc, it is a no 
ending discussion...
