XForms was based on the Forms Library by Mark Overmars, converted from IRIS GL (a precursor to OpenGL that also included calls to create windows and manage events) to X11. A similar conversion was used to make the first versions of FLTK, so all these toolkits are distantly related.
The toolkit was originally used by the Xfce desktop environment before the switch to the GTK+ toolkit.
