IIRC closed aps like the citrix client are dynamically linked
against libXm.so and since almost a year, 2.3 of openmotif is
required for citrix ica client.
Additionaly, open apps like guis and stuff are linking statically
against a specific version of libXm.so.* - so only they need to be
recompiled. I leave the decision of using openmotif or lesstif up to
the user.
