xv works for me on both 3's and 4's, when compiled with Sun's cc under
4.0.3 and run under real X.  The save window doesn't work as I'd expect, though -- one can
select a file from the browser, but clicking on it doesn't seem to do
anything -- I have to manually type in the filename.  I'm not sure if
this is inherent to the code, or if it's a result of me compiling with
too much optimization.
