Having brought up X on our Suns, I want to run X under SunView.

Digging up my old saved copies of xpert, I find that I should use overview,
with the magic `-w' flag.  [can anyone explain what -w really does?].

So I start X - everything works fine (except the mouse tracking is far too
responsive).  Now I want to suspend X, and get back to my SunView windows,
leaving the overview icon.  Can I do this?  Sending stop signals to X and xinit
leaves things in a very weird state (I can remedy this with setkeys, though).
But I can never get X to continue normally afterward.  Does anyone have any
suggestions on how to do this?  (Besides running NeWS :-).
