There are three components to "R4" in this context: the Intrinsics,
Xlib and the server.

Motif release 1.0 absolutely requires its own Intrinsics, an extended
version of R3.  This ships in full with 1.0 releases.

Initially, we weren't recommending using the R4 Xlib, but several
people (including us :-) tried it and we have had no problems at all.
Go ahead.

If you use an R4 server, you will exercise a bug in event mask
handling in the paned window.  To get around this, either run the
server in Bug Compatible mode, or get patched up to 1.0.3.

OSF/Motif release 1.1 requires the R4 intrinsics, which are part of
the standard distribution, patched right up to date; the patches are
on the Motif tape.  R4 Xlib is also required.  It should run on an R3
server.
