I would think that something like Solbournes OIL would be a nicer
addition; you can dynamically configure it to use the Motif or
OpenLook GUI.

Of course, if you were to do this, it would make sense to have a C++
API and develop for that. Hacking in Xt with C is painful. I know of
some people at e.g., UIUC who've put C++ ``wrappers'' around Xt
widgets, allowing you to use C++ to write your widgets, but that's a
non-trivial task.
