This sounds as though you're confusing client-side L&F specs with servers. Motif is a L&F spec and an implementation of that spec; OW is a whole environment, but the relevant part here is the server. One could run mwm and (other) Motif clients on an OW server just fine...and OL clients and window manager on any other server (provided PostScript isn't needed, of course). (Personally, I stand aside from the OL-vs-Motif squabble, since I find them both comparably intolerable. Sort of like seeing people arguing over whether they'd rather be executed by guillotine or hanging. Not that window system religious wars are really bugtraq fodder....) der Mouse mouse@collatz.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
