Project Athena at MIT wrote rolodX and xcalendar using Motif last
summer.  They were completed to about 90% and worked well enough to
use.
I don't know what the status is with them now though.  OSF/Motif
people also have copies of the source, but they have enough trouble
fixing their own bugs.  Who knows, they may surface again at some point
if the need is there.
