This is bug #1373
one year later, it has not yet been fixed,
at least not on OpenMotif 2.3 beta2, as shipped with SUSE 10.2

Sadly, a regression like that makes other OM 2.3 improvements
quite useless, since most non-trivial apps will have scale widgets.

... but if you wish to use a stable Motif distribution, you might want to look at the IST's (http://www.ist.co.uk) versions of Motif.

They continue to fix bugs in the original 2.1.30 release;
bugfix releases 2.1.31 and 2.1.32 are available.

The following code draws titles with OM 2.3 for me:

<br />
#include <Xm/Xm.h><br />
#include <Xm/XmAll.h></p>
<p>int<br />
main(int argc, char **argv)<br />
{<br />
    Widget toplevel;<br />
    Widget sb;<br />
    Arg arg[10];<br />
    Cardinal n;<br />
    XtAppContext app;</p>
<p>	toplevel = XtAppInitialize(&app, "Sms",<br />
		NULL, 0, &argc, argv, NULL, NULL, 0);</p>
<p>    n = 0;<br />
    XtSetArg(arg[n], XmNtitleString, XmStringCreateSimple("label")); n++;<br />
    sb = XmCreateScale(toplevel, "sb", arg, n);<br />
    XtManageChild(sb);</p>
<p>    XtRealizeWidget(toplevel);<br />
    XtAppMainLoop(app);</p>
<p>	return 0;<br />
}<br />

Try adding this line after first AtSetArg
XtSetArg(arg[n], XmNshowValue, TRUE); n++;

and you will see that it does not work.
The label is only shown, if value is not shown.
Please fix this bug, I hate to create workarounds around
correct code which worked for ages.
Thank you in advance.

I have just compiled OpenMotif 2.3 from source,
and applied the correction in Scale.c from cvs
and now it works!
Thank very much.
