Sawfish appaared in KDM after I switched to it from Windowmaker of AfterStep,
don't remember. LessTif - not.
By the way, it has even own web site: www.lesstif.org
see some info from it:

The LessTif Homepage
LessTif is the Hungry Programmers' version of OSF/Motif®. It is source
compatible with OSF/Motif® 1.2, meaning that the same source should compile
with both and work exactly the same.
LessTif is free software: it is licensed under the GNU Library General Public
License (LGPL). For further information on the LGPL, and for explanation of
what free software means, see the GNU web site. You might also want to check
out The Open Source Web for a little more information about the Open Source
philosophy.
LessTif Status
The current version of LessTif is 0.91.8 as of August 31, 2000. The code is
available for download in various packages.
Latest LessTif News
The OpenGroup has published their sources of OpenMotif. Read the core team's
preliminary statement on this and why the LessTif project will stay alive!
For some time now, LessTif distributions contain not only the Motif® clone,
but also a set of utility widgets mostly authored by Rick Scott. This widget
set is called Xlt. From now on, the LessTif CVS also contains the well known
Xbae widget set, and we'll be distributing both Xbae and Xlt as separate
distributions.
We're very close to getting the Netscape Navigator to work, dynamically
linked to LessTif instead of Motif®. This is called binary compatibility and
it looks like we can do it after all.
The mailing lists are now archived at http://www.mail-archive.com/. The
LessTif list and the commits list are available sorted by thread and date.
Xbae 4.8.2 - a second developer's release containing new (but incomplete)
functionality is available as of June 14, 2000.

P.S. As I see from LessTif page, Motif sources are also published now. May
be, it worth to have Motif as option in KDM as well? The users will choose
what they want.
