The LessTif bug is probably harder to work around. AFAICT, the LessTif
issue is due to LessTif itself, whereas the problem which occurs with
OpenMotif is due to another application.

You could try starting a second X server (e.g. Xnest) with a more
conservative window manager (e.g. mwm, twm, fvwm etc) and no
unnecessary applications, and running xganim on that.
