It's not the Solbourne X Server, it's the window manager.  It doesn't do
a virtual olwm, it implements the virtual desktop and allows you to choose
the look-and-feel of the window manager or create your own.  If you have
Solbourne hardware, you get swm and can purchase a RTU (Right To Use) so that
you can use swm on any SPARC based system.  Solbourne will soon (6-9 months)
have a binary distribution program that will enable you to purchase binary
copies of the window manager, OI toolkit, and most of our other X applications.

BTW, tvtwm and vtwm were both modeled after swm.
