There's a PostScript library included with NeWS 1.0 that implements
some of the output parts of the X10 protocol.  This means that X10R4
clients that don't express any interest in input events run fine (e.g.
xclock, xload), but those that want key and mouse input events (e.g.
xterm, emacs) die with protocol errors.
