Yes. As you undrstand, these are different ports of OSF Motif to Linux.
There are some problems with that and different companies solve them
differently -- by both fixing the bugs and introducing new ones :)
The most solid approach to that have Metrolink - it is also Motif vendor
to many other unices. The approach of InfoMagic is "hacking" specific
problems (as far as I can guess) - but it still works.
Another difference is more or less clean Imake rules and the most drastic
difference in runtime environment (mwm).
