This:

(posted by someone else, but I have exactly the
same problem).

Meanwhile I have kind of solved it by removing the
OpenMotif RPM package, and directly install the
older version from sources. Recompile the grace
sources against this and the problem goes away.

Therefor I think that OpenMotif 2.3 is too buggy.
