Is there way to get xdm to work with OpenLook? Or is there something out there that works like xdm under OpenLook? Bob Malay

Just remove /usr/bin/X11/X (it's usually a symlink to Xsun) and replace it with a shell script that sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH (if you haven't already made symlinks into /usr/lib) and execs xview. You also need to set the terminateServer resource in xdm-config to true because xview ignores SIGHUP. Steve

OPEN LOOK != Open Windows; Open Windows is a particular X11 (and NeWS) implementation that can provide OPEN LOOK's look&feel, but others exist, such as AT&T's XWIN or whatever they call it. XWIN's server may handle SIGHUP better than Open Windows's server does. (Heck, you can run MIT's server and the "olwm" or "olvwm" window manager and various XView applications, and get an OL L&F, if you want. Or you can run the X11/NeWS server and some *other* window manager and applications using some other toolkit, and *not* get an OL L&F.)
