Well, FLTK is not a plug-in replacement for Xforms. You have to modify the 
program and, although the FLTK authors say it's easy, I did not try.

But this is a nice suggetion and I forward it upstream. Did anyone was 
involved in a transition from Xforms to FLTK? This would get me out of the 
contrib hell and into the heaven of free software (SeaView itself is 
DFSG-free).
