        The old binaries were indeed statically linked with the real
        Motif libraries. That's why they worked so well. A statically
        linked Mosaic would also start faster.

        Mosaic uses Lesstif heavily, so the buggy parts are quite
        visible. One example is the list widget which doesn't display
        the items unless the scrollbars are touched or an item
        selected. As I said, these problems will probably be fixed in
        future Lesstif releases, and replacing the shared library with
        a newer version will improve Mosaic too.
