Does this mean that the 600 bugs includes some bugs found during
development and since fixed (what we call closed bugs), or are
there 600 open bugs, not yet fixed, some of which were found during
development, others of which were reported by customers?  If the
600 number includes some bugs that have since been fixed, what is
the count of currently open bugs in Motif?

Don't be defensive.  It's a well-known phenomenon that user interface
toolkits are large bodies of code that attract bug reports, since
users are more affected by small defects in a user interface than in
many other sorts of software.  We have a saying here that "What you see
is what you curse."
