Both of these sound like they have a common cause:
Motif ships it's own set of the Xt Intrinsics, with associated header files.
They are *not* compatible with the X11R3 or R4 files! If you mix the Motif
intrinsics and the "standard" header files, you'll run into all sorts of
strangeness as your applications can't find the proper fields. I know that
XtDisplay broke for me before I figured this out.
