Different GUI toolkits with different look and feel.

Unfortunately, the screenshots on geda.seul.org are somewhat out of
date, and I can't find any on pcb.sourceforge.net.

Basically, the GTK HID looks and feels a lot more like gschem (which
also uses GTK), even sharing some similar code for the symbol /
footprint browser (with preview), exit confirmation dialogs etc.

The graphics of the Lesstif HID are more minimalistic, and "classic
X11". A couple of the active PCB developers use this interface, so
sometimes it will see bug-fixes / new features first.
