For now I am rolling my own.  X11R4 compiled out of
the box, so that has become my client side development system.
The Motif widgets (Xm) also compiled from source, after the correct
compiler flags were used.  Mail me for our sgi.cf file.
I use Martin Brunecky's X resource based widget tool 'WcXc'
to quickly prototype interfaces.

Until SGI merges 4sight with X I will use two separate windows,
one a Motif based "control panel", the other a gl window with wizzo
graphics.
