you wouldn't see those in a screenshot of athena on x-windows circa 01994 either. the menus were all pop-up, so there was no menu bar, and the buttons weren't standardized or very recognizable (the xaw graphic design was abysmal, both aesthetically and usability-wise)
the only reason my x-windows desktop at that time would have recognizable buttons was that at first i was running mwm, which was from motif, osf's ugly but comprehensible effort to fight off open look. later i switched to athena's twm (uglier still but customizable), then the much nicer olvwm, then fvwm, which was similarly comprehensible but looked good
