Last time I looked, it was using Athena widgets, but I think the author is looking at Gtk. I'm currently maintaining the .debs for Siag Office. There is already a Gtk port of siag available (note: no gpw or gegon for now, but I suspect the former could appear quite soon, as there are now 2 distinct `pw' and `xpw' dirs in the package), and I put it in the debian source package. However, I cannot compile it for now, as my particular installation shows a bug (already reported as Bug#23411 against X), that I can reproduce using libgtk1_1.0.1-1 and gimp_0.99.29-2 (that is, GIMP with a non-matching gtk). I am willing to use this configuration to track this ugly bug, but I obviously need some help to do this, as I will probably need X binaries with debugging syms, and I can't decently recompile this beast on my poor 4DX33. Furthermore, I don't want to fetch X sources through my 33.6 modem - I guess I'll need to order a source CD. Any help appreciated on this.
