It's possible you're thinking of applications that use Motif libs for
rendering, such as Netscape Navigator/Communicator.  But (to pick an
example) Netscape has been available only with the lib statically
compiled in, for many, many years.  So, those applications don't benefit
at all from you having the Motif dynamic shared object library installed.
And, in any event, the Motif window manager is doubly not required,
since you don't strictly speaking need a window manager at all to run
Motif-linked apps, let alone needing mwm.
