jdk14 MINIMAL=true and XPM vuln

Ok, so open-motif, the origin of libXm is marked in vuXML due to the XPM 
  vulnerabilities.  The jdk is in vuXML due to the javascript unsafe 
class loading issue.  Since the jdk issue is with the browser plugin, I 
figured I'd be ok using MINIMAL=true to skip the plugin, but now I'm 
tripping over open-motif.  I'd like to understand the relationship 
between the two a little more before proceeding.  From the CVS history, 
I see a note that libXm is statically linked into libawt.  It seems like 
this is a non-issue for me since I'm precompiling a package that is 
intended for use on servers that won't run X, but I'd like to get some 
kind of confirmation before I go ahead and override the vulnerability check.
