FYI, OpenMotif is not distributed by the Fedora Project because its
license doesn't quite meet the Open Source definition.  Lesstif is
LGPLv2+ and is distributed by Fedora.  OpenMotif is probably available
from a 3rd party repo.

Unfortunately, I believe that some apps require OpenMotif and others
require Lesstif.

If you run "yum erase openmotif" you should find out which installed
packages require OpenMotif.  You will then be asked whether or
not you want to uninstall openmotif and all of the packages that
require it.
