} BTW: from the examples of Solbourne OI clients I have seen they don't do

} to provide something than can easily be switched to Motif l&f (& presumably
} vice versa: I haven't seen OI in Motif mode yet).

Can you site some examples?  I'm not sure what you mean by "distort OPEN LOOK".
We were certified Level 1 OPEN LOOK compliant before we ever thought of
providing the Motif emulation.  The Motif emulation didn't affect the 
OPEN LOOK part of OI at all.
