Did you compile the server with -DSUNWINDOWS?

If you did, this could be what is giving you problems,
the server should not be compiled with this option.

Also, did you run overview with the -W (or is it -w) option
to tell overview that the program you are running is another
windowing system?


To get full functionality, you will also have to hack either
xinit or the server, so that the server will know what to do
when stopped and restarted.
