Gadgets versus Widgets in Motif
-------------------------------

Motif has introduced the user interface object "Gadget" as an alternative to
"windowless" Widgets ( arrow, button, label, separator etc).

Is the advantage converting a Widget into a functionally equilavalent Gadget
primarily speed, memory savings or both? Is this a Motif-only toolkit extension?
