Yes. OpenMotif allows dynamically changing displayed dialogs, which we make use of in a few places. Also it'll be more bug-free as it's a single-user licensed version of the original closed-source Motif code. Lesstif is an open-source library that is a clone of Motif. It hasn't had the time/effort/money to become as bug-free and feature-rich as Motif yet. That said, some users can't use OpenMotif and so are using Lesstif. I also heard that Fedora is dropping support for OpenMotif over licensing issues? -- Curt, WE7U.
