This is not correct. There has been plenty of anecdotal evidence in
this forum to the contrary, which was all collected by OSF at one
stage. I am frankly surprised and disappointed to see this
mis-statement re-emerge from OSF.

We have been running Motif 1.0* with its own R3 Xt, on top of the X11R4
Xlib, talking to R3 servers.  No problems have been experienced here
over several months of heavy use by 5-6 users.  I believe R4 servers
would work as well.
