First of all, i must mention that we use X11R4 here and not
OpenWindows, because of performance and because configuration and
software seem much more reliable.

As for the problem with shared libraries creating warning messages, i
dont know how to supress that.  This situation is so brain damaged
that if you have, as we do, in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH, something like
	<X11R4 home>usr/lib:<openwindows home>/usr/lib>

and you run a Sun application that expects a higher minor rev of
sharable library than what is in the <X11R4 home>, it doesn't bother
to look in the other directory;; it does run, and it does complain.

Sun has done some software stuff nicely, like mmap(), but openWindows
and sharable libraries do not fall into that category.
