Well, you're both right. The widgets will *work* about the same, but will
very probably *look* different. I've seen the same problem with menus changing
formation. I've also noticed that under Motif, the sliderbars on a draw
widget eat into the size of the display region of it, while on a Sun it does
not.

I think there are other differences as well, but they seem to be cosmetic
only. We have IDL on an IBM RS6000 and on a Solbourne (SunOS), and I've had
no trouble moving applications from one to the other.
