Lesstif might not be a bad choice. My reasoning here is it's use of
virtual screens (borrowing from fvwm). One can place different windows
in different screens then navigate around using a small omni-present
"pager" -- as opposed to stacking everything one atop another. I could
see that being useful on an SE/30.
