I doubt it. The latest version of Open Look already offered two
possibilities by adding Olit (Open Look through Xt instead of xview)
and Sun will conform itself to the rest of the X11 world, i.e. use the
standard toolkit. I think xview will be there for backwards
compatability for a while, but the main thing will be Xt based. It is
a better programming model.

No, cause then I should also find Athena awful. But these things are
personal of course. I don't like these round buttons, pushpins and
cascade menus.
