Cernlib is already legacy, so it wouldn't be so bad that the graphical
stuff in cernlib doesn't work. Also it is not clear that it uses that
much directly X, but rather goes through Motif. Maybe Xm* symbols 
should not be taken into account?

This is a use of XCreateFontCursor. Is it really in the scope?



Another remark is that some of the problematic applications are 
Xaw or lesstif apps. Is it really an issue in that case that they
use X legacy fonts stuff?
