Damn, I solved the problem. The one change I did make to my X configuration, which was niggling at the back of my mind, was when I changed the fixed font (in /etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base.alias) to default to ISO10646-1 encoding to help the transition to UTF-8, instead of ISO8859-1. And this was precisely the problem. Changing fixed back to ISO8859-1 restores the lesstif applications. (I only really need the ISO10646-1 font for xterm, so I've now got that working properly by putting xterm*font: fixed-utf-8 into ~/.xResources). Thanks for your help in guiding my mind to the right solution!
