eximon is built using Xaw (X11/Xaw), I've modified em_hdr.h to use the Xaw3d
header files and then the "build" make file to lXaw3d, and rebuilt. In short
using the headers from the Xaw3d package instead of the XFree86-4 ones.
Now the scroll bars and buttons look rather odd, but the window is clearing
properly, the XawTextReplace call is working as expected.
