I got curious about Ubuntu 10.04 and compiled the current CVS build
with OpenMotif.  OpenMotif is still version 2.23, but I encountered
the same right click problem that's been reported previously.  Also, I
got this same error that was reported previously when attempting to
install xorg-dev:

xorg-dev:
 Depends: x11proto-evie-dev  but it is not installable
 Depends: x11proto-fontcache-dev  but it is not installable

I was able to compile without xorg-dev as I have been able to do
previously with 9.04 and 9.10.  Without xorg-dev, I added libxpm-dev
so that snapshots will work.

It seems odd that I have the right-click problem given it appeared to
be a Lesstif issue while I used OpenMotif.

Ideas anyone?
