I really hate content-free requests like this.  All?  Every single
last one of them?  Including syntax, punctuation, layout?  Should I
add support for .Xdefaults?  Not to mention how hard it is to audit a
GUI and see how it differs functionality-wise to another GUI.

Plus, consider that the GTK hid has lots of features that the lesstif
one doesn't.  Very simple request: someone add all that to the lesstif
hid for me.  Thanks!

Sigh.

I'm not going to make the GTK hid the best thing since sliced bread,
and I really have no desire to work on it at all other than to keep it
from blocking the next pcb release.  Hence, I asked for a MUST-FIX
list, not a "dream feature list".  A list of those things that, if not
fixed, prevent us from making a pcb release.  Nothing more, please.

If the GTK hid is making someone itch, by all means, scratch it.

If nobody cares about the gtk hid enough to work on it, we can easily
make the lesstif one the default.  I don't want to, though, and it
doesn't matter to me which is the default, as I know how to configure
mine for the lesstif one.
