A subjective statement on my behalf.  Sorry, heat of the moment.  :^)
What I was going on was my experience with Open Look and the Windowing
environment I used about two years ago on a Sun OS 4.x platform.  I had
a hard time getting X stuff to work from the net or ORielly but really
it has been too long ago to remember the details.
