I am currently using eXodus Version 2.0 to run DECWindows and other X
applications.  I use twm because it gives me easy access to the multiple
screen support that eXodus provides.  I run two windows:  One is a large screen
supported in a small Mac window (928x928)  The other is as large as I can
get on my real Mac Screen (608x416). Both are, of course, Macintosh windows and
can be scrolled.

I use the small window for applications that auto-size themselves nicely.  
I use the large scrolling screen for big things that don't like the small root.

My problem is that DECWindows does not allow me to start applications on the 
0.1 window.  The Session Manager/Customize/Screen number window implies that I
can either set the screen on which an application can run, or ask that I be
prompted for the screen number when I start an application.  While I can set
screen 1 to be used either as default or interactively, The application always
comes up running on screen 0.

Is this a known DECWindows bug?  I there something about my setup that is
causing the problem?
