Given that GNOME is considered part of the GNU project, should not be
--with-gtk be the default for compiling Emacs rather than Athena
widgets, at least where GTK+ is available?
Athena widgets are really quite ghastly to look at, don't get
antialiasing IIRC and are a bad choice for the _default_ look of Emacs
as it will probably get distributed by OS distributors unless we
change the default.
It is ok to have Xaw as a fallback and on demand, but we also use
GNOME icons and stuff, and the resulting optics would be quite more
consistent.
While my personal choice (GTK+ widgets but Lucid scrollbar) is not fit
for a default, I definitely think I would rather live with the GTK+
scrollbar semantics (and/or nag the GTK developers to make their
behavior customizable) than the Athena looks.
