not advocating for NT or M$ at all but this counting of man page entries
is very inaccurate:

# echo /usr/X11R6/man/man3/X[A-Z]* | wc -w
517
# echo /usr/X11R6/man/man3/Xt[A-Z]* | wc -w
263
# echo /usr/X11R6/man/man3/Xm[A-Z]* | wc -w
550

or even better:

# nm /usr/lib/libc.so.5.4.7 | grep -v _ | grep -c " T "
331

# nm /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so | grep -v _ | grep -c " T "
756
# nm /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so | grep -v _ | grep -c " T "
299

# nm /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so | grep -v _ | grep -c " T "
61

# nm /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.1.2.4 | grep -v __ | grep -c " T " # a.out DLL lib
491

# nm /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.2.0.0 | grep -v _ | grep -c " T "
569

so X11+Xt+Xm = 756+299+569 = 1624
