I don't think that this will work. lesstif isn't binary compatible with
motif AFAIK, only source-level. So to use programs linked against lesstif,
you will need lesstif, and not motif (ofcourse you could recompile
yourself...).
If this is not correct, by all means say so. I don't use any of
motif/lesstif myself :)
