Forcing themes for applications

Hi, I compiiled the openmotif theme engine on Debian for Linux. When I load either theme (Pixmap, dirtchamber) I see the effects on the desktop menu, but I don`t see any in Maya4.5 which depends on openmotif so i gather is using it for it`s menuing. The theme did however show up on the little licensing program for Maya. Is there a way to get the themes to work in applications such as this?

If anyone is having trouble getting the theme engine installed, here are my notes
