We are using Motif on a DEC 3100 workstation.  Some things 
we have been trying to do:

    Protected areas of screen.
        We want to limit most of our windows to a sub-area
        of the screen. Outside of the sub-area will reside
        control and status windows which we cannot allow to 
        be covered.

    Icon color control.
        Need programatic control over the foreground and
        background colors used for the window's icon.
        We have been successful at changing the bitmap,
        as well as *swapping* the foreground and background
        colors defined in the Xdefaults file.  
        We want to *redefine* the colors at runtime.

    Iconbox vertical scrollbar removal.
        To maximize useable screen real estate, we want to
        remove at least the vertical scrollbar from the iconbox. 
        The horizontal scrollbar will be used in most, but not
        all cases.
