    My worry about using the HP widgets is that
    support may disappear at any time with future releases of X. Can
    anyone reassure me on this?

You'll have to try and get a response from HP on this one (particularly
if you mean their public widget set that was in R3).

    How does one get documentation (at
    least..)  for the OSF/Motif set of widgets? How does one get to
    actually use these widgets?

You should talk to OSF directly about this to make sure you get correct
information.  My understanding is that Motif is currently only available to
licensed members of OSF.  It won't be until Motif ships ("summer", I think they
say) that the rest of the world can license it.

    Are there any other sets than the above?

Yes, HP has a product version of their widget set, Digital has a widget set as
part of their XUI product, AT&T has a product widget set (implementing
OPEN LOOK), and Sony has a product widget set (also a version in R3 contrib).
There may be others.  Contact those companies directly for info.
