Hello everyone, things seem not so simple. There's a lot broken with motif 2.5.2. First things I've seen after restarting the desktop, the names of the workspaces are gibberish. dthelp crashes instantly. This requires more investigation for now. I think, I need to set up a test system for that, because this update renders the desktop to a not fully working state.
Btw. after applying the patch, it won't compile against motif 2.3.8 anymore, so please don't merge this to master yet.
