1) Make sure you are running the correct server binary
2) Check for output from the server indicating problems.  If you see
    an error similar to "couldn't load PEX font ...", then check to
    make sure your PEX fonts are installed.  The default place is
    /usr/lib/X11/fonts/PEX, but will be different if you've defined
    ProjectRoot.  You can temporarily get around this by doing:

	setenv PEX_FONTPATH <ProjectRoot>/usr/lib/X11/fonts/PEX/

    before you run the server.
