Does this work OK for your workstation. ``Using the X Window System on 
Apollo Workstations'' tells the user not to use this option. On the other hand,
we were told by someone at our local HP/Apollo office that it was OK to use...
It was for some time, but then the screen changed from the X window 
backgound to DM, back and forth, every 2 or 3 seconds. Only reboot would help.
I now have dumped xdm in favor of DM + X owninng root. It works fine, but
I still would like to get rid of Dm. (On the other hand, I would still 
like to use dde, hope it will run under X soon). Now what is the `official'
word about this?
