Shirly, you must be kidding.  DECwindows is not an implementation of
X, is it?  It's just a window manager + other applications (that you
listed) which describe a user "environment" of some sort.  From your
statement, it sounds like you're saying that DEC is *rewriting* Xlib,
Xt and other libraries to support DECwindows.  The implications of
this are disturbing.
