This is no problem. My app has both Perfoerm and a GUI created by rapidapp and
some inventor SoXtRenderArea. It works. BUT be carefull, Motif is single
process. This means that you have to make all the viewkit calls (ie motif) from
within the same process. Else you might get sync. errors (multithread motif apps
are a great way to screw up the X-server). Other than that No problemo.
