There -are- other Web browsers for X which don't require Motif.  Chimera,
for example, is one.  (Excuse me if I misspelled the name--I can look it up
if you want me to.)  Chimera uses Athena (read: ugly) widgets, but can be
made to look better if you use libXaw3d (3d'ish athena widgets).

BTW--Let me give Holger Kruse a blatent plug here:  Chimera -has- been
ported to run under AmiWin (an AmigaOS native X environment...the 
registered version gives you the necessary X development SAS/C libraries 
to write/port X apps to AmigaOS).

: Forget about Motif, it's bloated, expensive, and inefficient.

Ah, but Motif has become the defacto standard as the X graphical interface.
Personally, I'm an OpenLook/Xview kinda guy. :-)
