In response to recent discussion about Motif's window manager: while it
can be made to look OK in b&w, it is true that its default values make it
look like death warmed over.  

Some experimenting helps. Below are portions of a resources file recently 
forwarded to me by Ben Schreiber at OSF's research institute.

PS: is there a large enough base of people interested in Motif and in
specific info such as this to warrant having the discussion in comp.windows.x,
or should we assume that everybody who has Motif is on OSF's private mailing
lists and can request such information there?
