LessTif overrides VendorShell with its own and we had to write a hack to make this work on Cygwin/X. Unfortunately, Xaw3d also overrides the VendorShell with its own version. However, it appears that I got a little too busy right around the time that I was going to release a patched Xaw3d library... I have the updated version built in my local tree, but I never finished testing it or releasing it. :) I just tested the fix and it solves your problem. Thanks for putting up with a forgetful developer... I had this email all typed up, explaing how there might be a problem since Xaw3d and LessTif both override the VendorShell. Then I thought that I had better confirm that Xaw3d had actually been released with that fix; it hadn't, so I had to rewrite the whole email. :) Xaw3d-1.5D-5 is coming soon to a mirror near you and will fix your problem with xfig and mwm.
