Typically you uninstall the lesstif-devel package and install the
openmotif and openmotif-devel packages.  Not sure on your particular
OS how you'd go about it.  You usually leave the lesstif package
installed in order to support any pre-compiled binaries that use it.

The rest of his questions were answered in private e-mail and on the
APRSSIG (For those Xastir subscribers that aren't on the other SIG).
