For that to work, we would have to be pretty confident that GFX_XWIN never 
fails, otherwise this defeats the whole purpose! Image a program using 
allegro_message to tell the user set_gfx_mode(GFX_XWIN, 640, 480) failed :-) 
Or maybe you were joking ?

I'm having a look at that xmessage source you posted, removing as much 
unneeded stuff as possible. It works fine stand alone, but I don't know how 
to integrate it with allegro, as it creates a whole new "App" object, and I 
don't know what I'm doing :-) This also adds libXaw to the libraries allegro 
is linked to, but this might not be a problem.
