 	I don't want to think that way. It's bogus. 
You still haven't named one problem with it.

 No because Openwin is Sun's specific X11, but you can always install
 the X consortium one on your machine too (I have both). People
 expect graphics libraries to reside in an X11 directory. The Athena
 libs are there. Motif should be there. How a guy unaware of CDE
 could have the idea of looking for Motif in a directory called dt ?! 
By experience?  By reading a manual?  What kind of a question is that?
