At the Catalyst conference last October Sun stated that it was their
intent to migrate everything to Open Look.  At that time they had
a strategy to migrate SunView applications to the Open Look toolkit.
All of this was to run with NeWS, of course.  At that time, Sun had
no strategy for X-based development.  The merged NeWs/X server was
intended for the use of X clients on other platforms.

Caveat.  I haven't been developing on Suns for six months, so the
info I have may well be out of date.
