I just spoke with Barry who told me that they do not have a Forms management package that uses X.  They have a utility with their OpenLook GUI builder which uses row-columns to achieve *some* of the functionality of a Forms management tool, but not what people have come to expect in a forms management tool.  He said specifically that they do not market their GUI builder as a Forms management tool.

If anyone does come across something, specifically something that is built with Motif, I would be interested in knowing about it.
