Hey, ya wanna start a war? ;-)
I am using the same configuration and I *am* running DW 2.0 on the top
of Ultrix 3.0 and I am fairly happy with it ...
When I take a look at that poor guys on their Suns, using xterm, testing
about 20 window-managers per day, using 50 different console progs and
messing up their screen more and more, I wonder why they just dont use
some ,,clean'' software.
>From my point of view, the X implementations from DEC and HP are one of
the best available.

P.S.:
Sorry for not answering ur original question, but maybe someone
(maybe you) could tell me why X11R3 core is better than DW 2.0 ?
P.P.S.: anyone knows where to get ,,Ken Olsen'' Stickers? ;-)
