CDE, the Common Desktop Environment, is based on Motif, a commercial X 
toolkit. So Motif should be the first and best fitting choice. (And 
with Motif you have some extra choices for X resources.)

But you don't need to stick to this. Athena is always in X11 -- 
although not the best choice. You can always ask configure to work 
--with- whatever you prefer. When it's not in the system it won't be 
found and configure will fall back to what's there.

If you've once succeeded to install a usable version you can try to 
configure and compile another one with another GUI and start it as 
"src/emacs." If you think that's a better version, install it and try 
the next configuration.
