I have tried the scribble example:
Init-2.03# nano-X & nxkbd & nxscribble & nanowm & nxterm & nxterm&
[1] 7
[2] 8
[3] 9
[4] 10
nxclient: retry connect attempt 1
[5] 11
[6] 12
init-2.03# Error: trying to drop non-existent client 9.

It seems to create every thing but the nxterm's are not visible. The
softkeyboard is present as is scribble (it takes a few seconds for it to
appear)

So I started up nano-X and then started an nxterm. What I see is my
console screen less the first 3-4 lines

I place my console on the serial port. I also echo the console to the
LCD

When I start nano-X & nanowm & and then try nxterm

I see the outline of a new window then it disappears. The following
shows up on the console:

nit-2.03# nxterm
&                                                             [6]
13                                                                         
init-2.03# Error: trying to drop non-existent client 9.
GsError: (GrGetWMProperties) Bad window id: 5
GsError: (GrGetWMProperties) Bad window id: 5
GsError: (GrGetWMProperties) Bad window id: 5
GsError: (GrGetWMProperties) Bad window id: 5


Any thoughts about what I have messed up?

FWIW, the soft keyboard and nxscribble seem to work well.
