I'm sorry, but I think you are misinformed. Staroffice does not use
Motif. It uses its own ugly internal widget set that doesnt fit in
anywhere. This is a disasterous approach - of course there will be
bloat if every application has its own widget set. This is what
mozilla did and look what happened.
What we're sugesting is abstracting the native widget sets internally.
