DECwindows
I may be being particularly thick here, but is DECwindows supported fully or only as a client interface? For my other VMs a graphical window can be opened in which the VM runs a virtual graphical terminal. OpenVMS starts with a graphical window, but then suspends it and switches to the serial console. Will DECwindows server run in the graphical window (ie am I misconfigured) or will it only run as client applications in a PC based server?

Re: DECwindows
There is no text or graphical console on x86 at present. The only way to access DECwindows is through X forwarding. The CDE desktop seems to be broken at the moment, but I've been able to access the older Motif desktop with X forwarding over SSH.
