	First, correct if I am wrong, Bruce, but the xview toolkit does not
	currently have a maintainer and therefore no Debian packages as
	of yet.
	 (I have been thinking about since I have used xview for
	 several years, but I have been swamp to give it what is due)

	Second, Openwin is a desktop environment. The OpenLook (tm)
	window manager is olwm or olvwm.

	With the last release of xview (3.2p1) you roughly get the WM and
	shelltool.
