That would be a prerequisite for removing Xaw from Core, yes. I admit
unfamiliarity with the TeX stack; is there a viable gtk replacement for
teTeX?
The only GTK+ xdvi alternative I'm aware of is gtkdvi:

But I haven't tried it yet. Hopefully it could solve the openmotif/Xaw
dependency hell in teTeX, so that libXaw could be moved to Extras as
well.
