        We have been using the MIT sample server on a SPARCstation 1
with SunOS 4.0.3 for some time, and execution has been fine.  However,
recently, it has become desirable to switch to the server Sun ships
(Xnews) with OpenWindows 2.0.  I have heard rumors that it is not
completely compatible with xdm.  Is there truth to this?  Also, what
other idiosyncrasies does Xnews have?

        In addition , one other thing.  Has anyone ever noticed a
problem with xview clients taking focus when SetInput is set to
followmouse?  I have tried all different resources to make it work,
but my xview clients will just not take focus until I click on them.
These are the resources I have tried: xview.icccmcompliant,
OpenWindows.SetInput, OpenWindows.FocusLenience.  None worked.

thanks.
