Nope, I have lesstif on none of my systems.  Using only OpenMotif.

Actually, now that I really look carefully, it is clearly *NOT* a check box 
(whew!).  It's a tiny bit of the frame of the text box.  Clicking it simply 
turns it from white to black.  The rest of the frame is apparently being 
obscured by the button widgets below it.  The bit that's not obscured lies 
right between the text from "Warn if Modifier Keys" and the box from "My 
trails in one color"

If you click on the text box the "phantom check box" changes color, so 
it's pretty clear that it is really just an unobscured bit of the frame.  It's
also not possible to toggle the "box" by clicking it twice, so that's another
indicator.  It just happens to be the right size to be confused with a check
box.  That also explains why it disappeared when I made the text box smaller 
--- it was no longer big enough to make it to the gap between the two 
widgets below it so the bit of frame never got exposed.
