We have also been experiencing some trouble while running X windows and
Sunview simultaneously.

Basically this used to work under SunOS 4.0.3 but since we recently upgraded
to 4.1, it stopped working.

It has a rather random behavior.  Sometimes it works fine and the first
sunview automatically starts X in cgfour0.  However, most of the time
the started X server gets stuck and there is no way to get it to accept any
input (i.e. you have to kill the server).

Has anyone experienced this problem ?  Clearly there seems to be a race
condition since the server sometimes works fine (about 25% of the times,
roughly).

Note that we start the server automatically from the script that sunview
executes.

I would appreciate any help on this subject.
