Er, not quite.  The actual situation is this: There are two active
developers, me and Dan.  I use lesstif exclusively, and don't know
Gtk.  Dan's been trying to pick up the gtk work (originally written by
someone else, no less), but we really could use a good gtk person to
maintain that code.

Would you mind sending me that *.pcb file?  I can try it locally and
see if I can reproduce it.

Well, *I* prefer lesstif.  Most of the other developers use gtk.

Actually, it's geared towards Xaw, the OLD interface.  Gtk kept the
same layout, lesstif changed to a different one.
