There aren't any real problems, just not much demand.  I hacked
together a XT interface using ffcall and dynamic linking that's pretty
low level.  I was really trying to add pointers and arbitrary foreign
function calls to an event display.  The Xt interface was a test bed
since it's a large library with lot's of data types.  I didn't think
the display was terribly satisfactory so I dropped it.  I think the
real "problem" is that gtk, Tk, etc are so pretty that XT just gets
skipped.  Someday I plan to bundle the pointer and function interface,
but I never seem to have the time.

Cheers,
