Well, nedit with Openmotif on Fedora 7 at least is broken (for me). 
Fedora has officially abandoned Openmotif, and I suspect other Linux 
distributions will eventually follow. That leaves lesstif, which appears 
to be on life support. It would appear that virtually no new apps, 
including commercial apps (I use a lot of commercial engineering 
software) are using Motif, so there is little incentive for anyone to 
fix bugs in Openmotif/lesstif/Xorg/Linux, or even determining where the 
bugs are.
