xaw3d has been written relying on undocumented internals of Xt. When
those undocumented interfaces changed in XFree86 4.x, compatibility
was dead. So it's the fault of xaw3d and XFree86 definitely won't
(and shouldn't) be "fixed" in this regard.
Currently the best way is imho to depend on xaw3d explicitly. Or you
can kiss the 3d widgets goodbye and just link with Xaw.
