And indeed that's where I was running xpdf (and am still, though that
same machine is now running 1.6.1-RC1 as I showed).  However I have no
NetBSD/i386 system with any display or keyboard on it, let alone one
running an Xserver, nor have I ever.

That's irrelevant from my point of view.  :-)

I'm sure I've run other Motif-using applications without such warnings
appearing, though at the moment I don't seem to have any others
installed to test with and I can't remember what those others were,
Perhaps I was actually using lesstif at the time though.

Hmm.... I just found time/catclock uses Motif.  Sure enough it spews
warnings too, though not quite so many (but then again it doesn't even
use the keyboard, does it?):

$ catclock

(that first one about "black " is odd -- someone forgot to strip whitespace)


DAMN!  Pressing a mouse button in catclock's window brings up a menu and
then locks the keyboard and mouse focus -- not even the menu works!  I
really hate Motif -- not a single clue about human factors went into
either its design or implementation(s).

(it spews more, similar, errors when the menu appears too)

The latest in pkgsrc I believe -- installed at the insistence of pkgsrc
for xpdf-2.03:

$ /usr/sbin/pkg_info -I openmotif
openmotif-2.1.30nb2 The Open Group Motif toolkit for the X Window System


None the less I believe you may be right -- this is probably a bug in
openmotif itself, not (just) xpdf.
