Athena MAC AUX supports, as far as I can tell, at least 3 different
session styles for login: X11 (if it works), Console, and something
called Athena AUX (the default). (I don't know what the 32 and 24-bit
stuff is.) The session style can be changed by the user either
permanently or for just the current session by selecting "Change Session
Type" from the "Options" menu before logging in. I recommend that those
who test AUX try each of these session styles at least once, since there
may be things which work in one which break in one or more of others.
