The strange thing is that when I tried to to ./configure for xemacs,
it recognized my Motif installation in /usr/dt, but it didn't seem to
want to use Motif at all - it used Lucid and Athena widgets
exclusively. So, I wiped out Motif if /usr/dt, re-installed Lesstif,
and viola - ./configure reported that it was using Motif widgets.
So, I'm back to Lesstif. IMO, Lesstif is a better implementation of
Motif as an open source toolkit. It compiled much less painlessly,
for one. Two, Lesstif apps seemed more stable. Also, note the weird
experience I had with xemacs not wanting to use "official" Motif, but
it seemed to work better with Lesstif.
