I am using X11R4 on my RT all the time now, but I do NOT use twm.  It
blows up on my system too.  I either use gwm or run mwm from the
neighborhood rs6000.

	First question.  Are you running AIX or ACIS/AOS 4.3??  If you're
running 4.3, then I'm not sure why you're having problems.  We run R4+twm here
all the time, and everything seems to work fine.

	We have people running mwm, twm, tvtwm, and uwm regularly.  I'm not 
aware of any major problems with any of them.

	If you're running AIX, well, maybe someone else in the audience has 
been through this and can help.

These opinions are my own.  I doubt IBM wants them.......

We have been running AIX (but switched to AOS, a relief!) and never got
any windowmanagers to run either. There is no X11R4 server, I guess you
still use the R3 server. It also did not work when the wm ran on another
host with -display aix-system:0.
You'd better give it up.

I am running X11R4 pl18, server and all, on an RT with AIX 2.2.1 and
have had no significant problems.  Twm will occasionally memory fault
when a remote client has problems, but I have never had a server die.

Let me know if you want the diffs that I made to get it running.
