I just spent ten minutes googling the issue and found this:

http://bugs.motifzone.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1381

Turns out that there *is* a bug in openmotif related to labels and such that
are set to insensitive with the XtSetSensitive function.  We use that all
over the place.  They claim to have it fixed, but the fix is ifdef'd, meaning
you'd have to recompile openmotif from source with that symbol defined.
