Not the case with Emacs, I build it and it has issues pretty much no matter what. I used it built with Athena/Lucid/the X toolkit/whatever you want to call it, because GTK breaks the daemon. But the GUI kept freezing and I kept have to kill it and then recreate all the daemons. The session was intact, but it was still annoying. I installed GTK, and now that doesn't happen anymore, but I have to deal with the bug that GTK causes. Like, just now, I wanted to use Emacs in another TTY. I couldn't, because GTK fucks up the daemon. If X dies, the daemon dies, along with the session. And it can't be used in multiple X sessions.
This is exactly why I built it with Athena in the first place. Huge pain, having to pick one major bug or another. Maybe I'll build it with Athena, but without xaw3d, just in case it doesn't happen without that? If all else fails, I may have to just use it in the terminal, which is dumb, because then I lose image and mouse support.
Not sure if one or both of those happen with Motif. Do they even still support OpenMotif? By the way, fuck GTK and Qt, bring back Motif! It can't possibly be worse, right? And it exists, and is not proprietary anymore.
