Really? I've had problems going between DECWindows Motif and plain X-windows
on our Sun regarding the default layouts. I don't use OpenWindows, so I can't
compare X to OpenWindows.

Here's my problem: if I say
x = widget_base(row=2)
y = longarr(6)
for i=0,6 do y(i) = widget_label(x,value=string(i+1))

I get
1 2 3
4 5 6
on the VAX in DECWindows MOTIF, but if I execute the same code on a Sun SPARC
using X-Windows, I get
1 3 5
2 4 6

The way around this sort of a problem is to define more base widgets
(everything works as expected if you use row=1 and/or column=1), but it is a
pain for complex layouts.
