Jess,

We've implemented the McGill X package over here on our Mono Nextstations.
I've been able to generate Xwindows on other Xclient machines.  However,
not all the software I use runs clean - Xv being one example.  I can't 
tell you a lot more, since I use another machine for my primary Xwindows
environment, however I can recommend the McGill X distribution as one 
which works for me for basic things.   Stop on over if you wanna take
a look, or FTP it from your favorite site.
