The R6 Xlib has a new implementation, but because Motif stuck to the documented interfaces it all just works. NetScape needs the R5 Xlocale files because it's statically linked with R5 libraries that not surprisingly have dependencies on those files. >I haven't seen a Motif built against R6 headers, though.
