I don't know if its any better today, but back in the paleozoic era when
I was doing Motif work, it was definitely *not* thread/task safe. If you
wanted to use Motif with multitasking programs, you had to be sure that
only one task actually made all the X/Motif calls; sort of a Motif server.

There are some Ada bindings out there that implement the "Motif server"
transparently for you. But I don't think there are any free ones.
