Then they need to be ported to a modern toolkit (by upstream). E.g. Xaw has
long stopped being viable. (In fact it was never supposed to be more than an
example.) If there is no upstream, then maybe it's time to retire the
package? Or pick up upstream maintenance if there's really no modern
alternative?
