Hi, Ryo.

Well, I didn't know any of that.  I'm happy to try x11/motif.  Thanks
for the suggestion.

Unfortunately, I just tried x11/motif, and it has the same weak aliases
problem as x11/openmotif, so I'll need to get a patch set worked up for
it (unless you or someone else wants to do it).

Thanks,

Lewis
