If you've pointed /usr/lib/X11 at the X11R4 copy, you're missing the
app-defaults files, the files in /usr/lib/X11/eu, and the files in
/usr/lib/X11/uid from the DEC distribution.  Without some subset (or all)
of those files, the dx clients core dump.  You'll have to mix the DEC
files in with the X11R4 files to make the dx clients work.

No, DEC's server is X11R3, although Ultrix 4.2 is rumored to have
an X11R4 server.
