Description John Arthorne CLA 2010-12-22 14:42:45 EST 
It has become increasingly difficult to add modern new features to the Motif port given that Motif itself has no active development. Support for accessibility, advanced graphics, and transparent shells is unavailable or limited. In addition, there is no available Motif on 64-bit platforms, which has become standard on server class machines. For these reasons we will completely drop support for Motif platforms, and replace them with 64-bit GTK versions. This includes new ports of the platform on AIX and HP-UX.

This has been completed. I just opened this bug to record it as an official indigo plan item.
