Me too.  Actually, I am now utterly confused as to what Sun's window
strategy architecture is/will be.  Does the OpenLook GUI sit on top of an
X11/News server?  Where does SunView fit (below, above, beside)?  Can I
still pixrect?  Will Motif operate on top of this combined thingy?  Does it
perform well on anything less than a SPARC?  Will the X11 implementation
support remote X11 clients (e.g., peecees)?  How is it all organized?  How
fat is it?  Is this all supported on all Suns?  What should I read???
