For some reason, the manual refers to "LessTif Resources" instead of
"Motif Resources". However, Motif is the original implementation,
whereas LessTif is an incomplete clone of it (whose development has
stalled). Furthermore, functions and variables are named *motif*
throughout (e.g., motif-version-string). Both Motif and LessTif are
free software, licensed under the LGPL. I think that it would serve
users better if the name of the original implementation was used.

The patch below changes LessTif (back) to Motif in some places,
partially reverting the following commit from 2001:
