Rational developed an Ada implementation of Xlib, which happens to be
distributed (last I heard) on one of the "contributed software"
tapes/directories from the X Consortium.  An Ada/Xt implementation was
developed under STARS funding several years ago, and can be found
(among other places) in the ASSET library.  A number of published
papers and reports of both of these are available; TRI-Ada Proceedings
would be good place to start.

While there have been a number of Ada/Motif bindings, I've never heard
of a full Ada/Motif implementation (which would be a non-trivial
effort, for a number of technical and legal reasons).
