Actually, now that I think about it, Motif never really got used 
much on Linux much if I recall.  I just found out that MS helped 
design Motif, which was very clever of them, designing such an 
ugly toolkit for what was their competition at the time.

Also, I just checked and Unity is based on GTK, so that is out. I 
should research my posts better :o)
