Someone recently posted an article asking how to convert character frames to motif. Here is one way: Use a form widget as the container, and for each item contained, attach to the frame and use the *Offset resource(s) to position. Converting an x,y to the appropriate pixel address requires that you pick a font, and use its' metrics. I have developed a set of libraries that allow x/y positioned dialog boxes to be created, and would be happy to share the details via e-mail or voice.
