On my desk is a paper entitled "Using the NeWS Window System in a Cray
Environment" by R. L. Phillips and D. W. Forslund at LANL.  It seems
to be more of a sponsor-sales sort of thing ("look what we did with
your money!") rather than presenting the results of any new research.

Still, the paper indicates to me that NeWS is pretty well accepted in
the LANL environment.  You might consider NeWS as the window system of
choice if only for interoperability with the other work that's going
on there.
