Apparently the X server on the DEC 5000/133 is riddled with bugs.
We know about the following bugs so far:

o DPS stuff for psinset causes exit without error.  (NOTE: I have my own
psinset,do)
o Printer Setup dialog fonts are too big
o BIG SCREEN; may want to consider adjusting certain fonts, ala the
  rs6k.  It's not as pronounced, though, and the cmenu stuff seems WAY big.
o End zones on icon and children don't work.
o The default font really squishes text in the titlebars of icon & co.
  (no room for decenders at all, although risers are merely VERY
  CLOSE.)
o The double-page figures next to entries in the 'More' window of the
  menubar should be larger.
o preiview seems horribly screwed up.  (investigate more)

So you can answer these bugs as known, and forward along any new ones.
