We are currently using the X  that came with the UWS 2.0 distribution
on our DS3100.  No problems.  You need to remember to create ttyv0 so
that you can do a startup via /etc/ttys, but that is documented and NBD
(even if I did forget about it for a while :-)  All the DECWindow
Clients work fine, with the exception of DECardfiler.

OBTW we use the X interface, isntead of DECWindows because we can not
use DECWindows on the VS200 we are still using (too much of a
performance hit), even though it would work fine on the RISC boxes.  We
require a standard interface for our users.
