1. Widgets aren't being given names. This makes it impossible to refer to them from outside of the code. It also eliminates the possibility of implementing a useable Xt (e.g. Motif) backend. Toolkits which don't name widgets can just ignore the name.
Apart from the fact that I would like names for widget as an added comfort, why do you have to name widget to implement them in Xt? Couldn't you just use a unique string generator and wrap the names into an ADT? I apologize if the question is stupid.
Well by "useable" [sic], I meant the ability to use resource files,
-xrm, Editres etc. Yes, you could implement an Xt backend, but using
automatically-generated widget names would significantly reduce its
functionality.
