Er, unless I'm missing something, I don't see what is so unique about
Open Desktop or any other 386 X11 implementation that you couldn't take
the freely-available "XView" toolkit and window manager (part of X11R4's
contributed software) and build it.  As far as I know, it only requires
a working Xlib library--it doesn't use the Xt intrinsics, unlike AT&T's
Open Look.
