Functionally, what is actually contained in these products---for example,
does the basic server include all the standard X apps 
(xterm, xeyes, uwm, twm(my pref), etc), the fonts, etc
or do these need to be obtained elsewhere? 

What is the "Digital Librarian Stuff"? X docs?

Finally, why would one want Motif? Is there lots of X software
that only runs under Motif? Is Motif easier to develop for?
