   Running X11R2 on a Sun3/140 with SunOS 3.5, all xmh does it to 
   pop up a very strange looking tall and narrow window with a bunch
   of rectangles connected by lines. It dosen't seem to respond to any
   mouse clicks. 

I get the same behavior on a Sun 3/60 monochrome (other background info
same as yours).  I've sent in a bug report about it.  I can get things
going again if I start up the X11R1 xmh first, quit it, then start the
R2 xmh.  I haven't done any carefully controlled experiments, but I think
that reading mail outside of xmh might affect it.  From this, I suspect
it might be related to the xmh folder cache data. -- not sure...

I forgot to mention that even after running R1 xmh first, I still get a
narrow window that I have to resize myself (but the buttons are painted
with text and all).
