Not for me. :-) At least, gnome-terminal's "Open link" stops at the `_' since `(' can't be part of the URL. This Firefox pastes it out as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motif_%28software%29 Yes, they mean C programming for the Motif library, libXm, that uses Intrinsics, libXt, and X11, libX11, along with various other bits. (mwm, the Motif Window Manager, is different; it's "just" the window manager that happens to understand mwm-specific "hints" from X clients.) Back when I was doing it, it was written C/Motif, or Unix/C/Motif, to indicate the kind of work you did in conversation.
