OSF has been communicating bugs in Xt to MIT, with their proposed fixes.
After checking them, for some bugs, the Consortium integrated OSF fixes,
for a few it made new fixes. But the MIT/X Consortium staff
indeed responded in timely manner to make the fixes.

	OSF thanks to them !!

It results that the "certain Xt patches" necessary to run Motif 1.1
are: all public MIT patches from 1 to 15.

Also, Bob's recent fixes to Xlib make Motif 1.1 considerably faster
at startup time.
