Some questions on 3D graphics and X:

* Can anyone tell me if there are any useful libraries/widgets for doing 3D
  graphics in X (or is everyone waiting for PEX in X11R5)?

* What are the advantages/disadvantages for using PEX with X versus, say, 
  using Silicon Graphics' GL on an IRIS?

* Is there a widget set that provides the functionality of GL?

Any and all responses greatly welcomed!
