Were did the Motif libraries come from? If they're in OpenSolaris, they
should still be there if you upgrade to OpenIndiana. If it never worked
in OpenSolaris, it probably won't work in OI either.

There have been several comments from people in Oracle that there will
be an OpenSolaris -> Solaris 11 Express upgrade path. What specific
version of OpenSolaris and just what form the upgrade would take haven't
been specified - I would say if you are thinking of using SX 11 you
should probably wait for that to appear.
