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?
