Subject: SunView -> X

To each of you who have converted SunView applications to X
and the XToolkit: please share your experience!

The application I'm converting is tied to SunView through a call
interface, so the conversion must be done at the interface
level. Because of the application's design, certain SunView-like
features are required, such as the ability to specify a bitmap
for the image of a command button. It looks like the easiest
and cleanest way to do this is to write widgets that map to
major SunView objects.

Please respond directly. Helpful hints, sage observations
and working widgets are all welcome. Thanks!
