The libXaw3d.so.6.0 that comes with Red Hat doesn't appear to be a
drop-in replacement for libXaw.so.6.  I grabbed the libXaw3d pre-compiled
libraries off of SunSite & just dropped them in place of the Red Hat
supplied libraries.

Works like a charm.  However, rpm/glint will report that the files aren't
the ones it installed, but that's a small price to pay.
