xmh has several bugs which are exist only because it was linked against
R2 of the toolkit. Things that come to mind right off hand are:
-rv and *reverseVideo don't work
the grips on the vertical pane get confused
the text widget gets confused
etc.
Many of these bugs could be resolved simply by relinking the program
against R3 of the toolkit. It seems that the libraries in x11dev are
the most up-to-date, as they contain fixes for bugs that were found
during recent Xt development. xmh doesn't appear to be a particularly
complicated program (from the Xt point of view), and it is unlikely
there would be any problems in compiling R2 code with R3 libraries (I
have done it a lot and have had no problems.)
