PS documentation size / source

It seems the PostScript documentation has bounding box issues; Ghostscript only shows the upper left corner of the page, and the Acrobat Distiller distills it in the upper left corner of a letter-size page. Unfortunately, the first release of the OpenMotif source code seems to come bereft of the documentation source (if I recall, the Motif 2.0 source distribution included doc source and tools to compile it). Such source would be useful, not only to fix the docs, but also to distribute them in different file formats and paper sizes.

Compiling demos

On a RedHat 6.1 box, when I run xmkmf -a in a demo directory I get a missing separator error. For example, in the
/usr/X11R6/xmdemos/lib/XmCxx directory
[root@prtpp0jq XmCxx]# xmkmf -a
mv -f Makefile Makefile.bak
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config
make Makefiles
Makefile780 *** missing separator. Stop.
I will be greatful for any help.

WSM crashes

Hi there
Anyone tried mwm/wsm yet? I`ve tried to start wsm (workspace manager) and it crashed somewhere deep inside Xt on startup. Have I forgotten something?
TIA.

Missing Libs

What seems to be missing in the rpm are the following libs
libMrm.so.2 is needed by openmotif-devel-2.1.30-1_ICS
libUil.so.2 is needed by openmotif-devel-2.1.30-1_ICS
libXm.so.2 is needed by openmotif-devel-2.1.30-1_ICS
There are many available, which is the right one?

MWM on GNOME?

Any hints on how to get MWM running as a window manager for GNOME? I`m having trouble keeping it up.
