Ironically, in my own package,I came across an incompatibility with the
new Xaw. So while my package did not use 3d widgets at all, it was better
to run it against Xaw3d, instead of the "new" Xaw.

As the upstream author, I eventually recoded it to work with both.
But it really pisses me off that the Xaw people broke backward
compatibility.
