Nothing prevents you from direct Xlib codeing.  While the InterViews design 
provides an X independent level for programmers to work at, it is not difficult
to mix IV code with Xlib.  I have done this on numerous occasions.  The IV-X11
include files are accesable to the application programer in order to do this.
I am not familiar with the OLIT STUB widget, but you can use the InterView's
InputHandler class to respond to mouse motion.
