as tchan always says - use openMotif, it is by fas superior and as we 
know it - all applications should work with it. For those case that it 
doesn't, you should file a bugreport first (or check to see if it hasn't 
been fixed yet in the last day).

I have been thinking about an %MOTIF alias to circumvent this problem a 
bit. Anyone with arguments for or against that should speak up.
