[comp.windows.open-look] olwm and X

I am kind of new to Open Look and X windows and I have a problem like that:
I used mainly X Windows with tvtwm window manager and recently I tried Open Windows system. I invoke it with openwin script which installs some paths and sets some parameters and then invokes xinit. I invoke X Windows with xinit script.
I liked very  much the xrn news manager working under X Windows, but I don't have (or don't know) such a mouse-oriented interface for Open Windows. Does it exist ?
Also, is it possible to run olwm as a window manager for X ? I mean, can I replace tvtwm with olwm in .xinitrc (see below), run xinit and I will have X with Open Look manager ? Can I then run xrn ?

Thanks in advance,
