Nearly every problem I've had with JDK on FreeBSD related to Motif.  And 
Xig does not have a Motif for 2.2.5 yet (no word from Xig on when either, 
as of Tuesday).  

Is it possible to change from Motif to something else (I don't know what; 
tk/tcl?)?  Or is this what Sun/JavaSoft uses, assuming everyone has it?  
Lesstif just isn't *there* yet, either.

I'd hate to have JDK tied to a commercial (read, "has a price tag") 
product, if we could work around it, with a free one.

If its not possible, then just ignore the ramblings of a 
financially-challenged developer.
