One thing that occures to me is that this Open Look versus Motif thing
would be easier to deal with under NeWS. It would be reasonable to implement
most of the UI in the server, and have the *user* choose Open Look or
Motif, with NeWS. It's not really reasonable to do this under X.

So if he OL/Motif war goes on long enough for V.4 with the X/NeWS merge to
get out there to a significant number of users, it might turn the X versus
NeWS war around again...
