XST requires ST and [Open]Motif... 

Actually all *XST* requires is ST. There is a demo program xstfontsel
(soon to be renamed to xstfontview) that requires Motif. 

We would definitely welcome anybody to port it to GTK or Qt, but unfortunatly
at this time we don't have any resources to do it ourselves. 
It sounds as a fun project for a couple of days for somebody who wants to get
familiar with XST.
