OPEN LOOK is a GUI (user interface) specification, not a window
system. There is nothing about it that doesn't "conform" to the X standard,
since the OPEN LOOK spec is independent of what window system it's implemented
upon. I assume you mean OpenWindows, not OPEN LOOK.

What doesn't work? Be specific. Which version of OpenWindows are you
running? What window manager? I haven't seen any significant problems
with OpenWindows running X programs.
