Yes. I know at least those:

	Motif Style Guide
	IBM CUA Style Guide, the Style Guide for Presentation Manager.
	DEC-Windows Style Guide
	Apple/MacIntosh Style Guide

> Has a style guide been written up for Motif?

Yes.
	OSF/Motif Style Guide, ISBN 0-13-640491-X, edited by Prentice-Hall

But at this point, you might want to wait two weeks to get
the new version of the Style Guide, which includes a fairly extended
model for keyboard navigation.

I'll give one, choose if it's major or minor :-)

	OpenLook uses mouse buttons 1 for select, 2 to adjust, 3 for menus

	Motif and CUA use button 1 for select, 2 for move/drag, 3 for menus.

Adjust in Motif+CUA is obtained by Shift+Select.
