It would be better to depend explicitly on libx11-dev, but I doubt the dependency in libxft-dev and libxt-dev on libx11-dev is going to disappear any time soon... > Just out of interest, I tried to find the minimum extra dependencies > (besides the current libmotif-dev) required to build all of the included > demos. > I managed to build most of them by only adding libxt-dev.

Right, and I see quite a few of the demo programs only include Motif headers, not X11 headers, so they should really be able to build with only libmotif-dev and its dependencies. earth needs libxext-dev but it explicitly includes X11/extensions/shape.h, so that's fine.
