Re: Motif Style Gui

At this point EMC is evolving/maturing rapidly and I'd like to see the
variety of directions that folk can take it in.  My vote (fwiw) would be
for you to do your thing - create your vision for what a gui ought to be.  

I've got a dozen different TclTk ones that I've been playing with.  I
imagine different interfaces depending on the need, operator, integrator,
maintainer.  And I'd like to see several different windows on the system
depending upon the operator's purpose or the state of the machine. I plan
to make a couple of these available soon.

The analysis that you did of xemc is a good take off point.  I liked your
round red e-stop - it's an operator kind of thing. 

I am not very well acquainted with motif but will respond on each of your
points as soon as I get a chance to look over xemc again.
