Either your source is not as reliable as you think, or one of you has
confused "NeWS as a standalone window system" with "NeWS and
OpenWindows". Either there is internal development going on in
OpenWindows, or I was hallucinating last time I was at Sun, standing
in a programmer's office watching him work. And he's a PostScript side
programmer, too...
