I have not started looking too much at the Motif code, but I have
noticed that just with "X" functions that a lot of them are written
just plain wrong. I think this is going to take a lot of time to work
through all the debugging and code. I know that someone had mentioned
running Purify on the code and I have suggested we run other tools on
the code and get all the bad stuff fixed.
If you're wondering what kinds of things I'm looking at is that
XAllocColors was called with NULL as the argument for planes. Planes
is actually an integer that should be gotten by using the
DisplayPlanes() function. As I work through the code, if there is
someone with tools that would like to run them on files, feel free to
do a few files at a time and send me the output. I'm currently trying
to work on some of the bigger files in the exec.

I am noticing different behavior of dxui, and builder executables
compiled with OSF/MOTIF 1.2 and OSF/MOTIF 2.1.2 on Windows.
For example, if compiled with OSF/MOTIF 2.1.2, directory browsing
does not work... opening a big *.net file on return dxexec.exe bombs
and dxui often does segfault.
With OSF/MOTIF 1.2 it is more or less behaves.
Could there be some incompability problems with MOTIF 2.1.x?
