In the past, xfig had exposed quite a couple of compatibility issues
between Xaw3d and Xaw, but ...

... it's been a while since then and xfig and Xaw3d both might have been
improved ... I don't know.

So, IMHO, somebody better should check if these "other distros" have
Xaw3D related patches applied to Xaw3D and/or xfig. IIRC, in the past at
least SuSE had.
