I've noticed some issues that may relate. I used to be able to display back an
entire CDE desktop from one of my Suns, using a copy of the XQuartz app bundle
that passed some extra arguments to the X server (typically an alternative
display number so I could run it at the same time, and -query
_remote_host_name_ (whichever that was). As of a few XQuartz updates back,
that doesn't work any more.
(The only catch with displaying back an entire desktop - when it worked - is
that if you want the windows to appear to be separate, you have to use
NoBackdrop; and you have to use an icon box for the window manager, because
individual icons (or the menu on the background) may not show up.)
