(this is mostly from a sparc4)
the sun's that aren't running in truecolor should not try to display
things that require it. they give errors. xlyap is such a module.
bsod displays various crash screens. this is sort of cute, but also
very misleading and confusing. It should probably be a default, as
people might just reboot the machines.
when a window pops up while the screensaver is running, it displays it
for a moment, and then blanks what was the screen saver design beneath
it. zephyr does this.
"warning no mono visual for rocks -root"
(ditto for a bunch of other ones)
everything after gears on the demo list (inclusive) doesn't exist.
when it runs something that doesn't exist, it displays the current
directory and the path. On the sun's it displays this to the screen
(this is bad) on the sgi's it spews this to the tty that started xss.
