   This isn't a direct answer to your question, but I use :SELECT ACTIVITY
   to start up a CLIM application running on a 3600 and displayed on a
   Sun.  

   By the way, I found that I needed to reset TV:DEFAULT-BACKGROUND-STREAM
   (as I recall).  Otherwise if I went into the debugger, it would appear on
   the 3600 console rather than the X screen.

If you can lay your hands on it, the CLIM 2.1 release from Symbolics
(which also runs on top of Genera 8.3) has a number of fixes to the
CLIM event dispatcher which will make this work quite a bit better.

I don't have any advice about how to get it, though.

       Subject: X window frame


       Hi,

	How do I display my CLIM 2.0 application frame as a client process
       on my X server. In other words, I login into my UNIX workstation, bring
       up a Genera 8.3 environment (via Start X Screen command), which works
       fine, and try to start my application and the application frame appears
       on the Symbolics console window instead of the X server (workstation).
       Below is the code I use to start the application frame. Any help would
       be appreciated. Thanks.

       (DEFUN DO-CAP-PLOT (&OPTIONAL (initialize nil) &KEY (port (FIND-PORT)) (force nil))
	 (IF initialize
	     (SETQ *cap-plots* nil))
	 (LET* ((framem (FIND-FRAME-MANAGER :PORT port))
		(frame 
		  (LET* ((entry (ASSOC port *cap-plots*))
			 (frame (CDR entry)))
		    (WHEN (OR force (NULL frame))
		      (SETQ frame (MAKE-APPLICATION-FRAME 'cap-plot
							  :FRAME-MANAGER framem)))
		    (IF entry 
			(SETF (CDR entry) frame)
			(PUSH (CONS port frame) *cap-plots*))
		    FRAME)))
	   (SETQ *cap-plot-frame* frame)
	   (RUN-FRAME-TOP-LEVEL frame)))
