xaw3d, and rosegarden namespaces



I'm working on hte package of Rosegarden,  a musical sequencer and editor.

1) I like xaw3d - it gives a nifty look to the rather drab athena widgets.
I've got it installed.  So when I compile rosegarden,  it's gonna get
linked against xaw3dg,  thus requiring the package.  Is this bad?  Should
I remove xaw3d to compile rosegarden?

2) The rosegarden package contains three binaries - the music editor
("editor"),  the sequencer ("sequencer"),  and a topbox which calls the
other two ("rosegarden").  The install default is to put "rosegarden" 
in rootdir/bin (this'd be /usr/X11R6/bin) and "editor" and "sequencer"  in
rootdir/lib (/usr/X11R6/lib),  which seems like a bad namespace pollution
to me -- there are lots of "editors" (musical and text) and lots of
"sequencers" available.  Should I:
	A) make a /usr/X11R6/lib/rosegarden directory and put the editor
and sequencer there
	B) rename them to "rosegarden-editor" and "rosegarden-sequencer"
and put them in /usr/X11R6/bin

	Which policy applies here?  

						Thanks
