No one that I know: I'm using SWiM _fairly_ successfully. Steve Dunham
wrote a package to turn this into a .deb although this is probably
very unofficial and in no way supported.  LSL allowed me to download this
once I'd convinced them I was a SWiM licence holder but it may well have
been withdrawn from their ftp site - I was an alpha tester.

Recommendations I had when I outlined some trouble I was having were to
use Mootif or to take advantage of a competitive upgrade price.  Motif
2.1 and CDE have both been announced by ?? The Open Group ?? as new
releases: it may be better to wait until these are available.  Motif is 
very much a commercial product - a full source licence costs $40,000 or
so - paying a couple of hundred dollars for libraries and mwm seems
quite reasonable !
