This is not what UseSunWindowsInServer does.  Rather, it produces a
server that knows how to run under SunWindows, rather as if you did
`overview Xsun'.

No.  R4 does not support SunView applications.

If you really must mix SunView and X on the same screen, as far as I
know you have to use OpenWindows.
