Answer: The simplest answer is to use fixed-width fonts and spaces to line up
columns.  There are also some more general solutions follow.

Motif 2.x supports tab components in XmStrings.  Insert XmSTRING_COMPONENT_TAB
segments into your XmStrings, either with XmStringComponentCreate() and
XmStringConcatAndFree(), or with the XmStringParseText() api).  Then use
XmStringTableProposeTabList() to get a default set of non-overlapping tabs.
Put that XmNtabList into a rendition in the list's render table.

The XbaeMatrix can do this too, for both fixed and non fixed width fonts.
(The XbaeMatrix can be made to look and behave like a list widget.  The widget
is compatible with Motif 1.2 and Motif 2.0.) You can get the latest version of
XbaeMatrix from: http://www.lesstif.org/Xbae.html
