Has anyone done any work with X on the Apollo Workstation? I recently
loaded the Apollo X tape X11 R3 v1.1. It works well and I have been
able to write a few simple programs. Performance is even decent on the
DN3000 which I am using.

It's nice but I think I'm missing something and that something may be
Motif.  The release contained the Xt Toolkit which included about 6-8
simple widgets.  They don't have the 3-D pushbuttons or other more
sophisticated widgets. 

Do I really need the Motif software to do any useful work? Apollo sells
it for a lot more than X itself cost.

Insight would be appreciated.
