Some people were talking about doing this quite some time ago in the Linux
group.  Dunno what became of it, but there's already Tk, which while not
Motif does look-and-feel like it.  If you don't like using an interpreted
language for your GUI development (be it Tcl, Scheme, Perl, or Guile),
I suppose you could use Tk widgets directly from C programs (haven't tried
this but at worst it would need some glue routines).  The API is completely
different from Motif of course.

As to mwm, there's fvwm which is at least 10 times better and about 3 times
smaller.  ;-)
