No problem.

Sure, this would be straightforward to do by either using or subclassing
the ATK text object. The chlist object (in andrew/atk/champ/) does
something similar to what you're looking for.

No.

No. There has been some talk at times about writing a wrapper that would
allow ATK objects to stand in as Xt or motif widgets, but it hasn't
happened yet.

Yes. (It's called ADEW, and it is part of our distribution.)
