I don't know about OLWM, other than I'd guess from the name that it's
a window manager.
If I understand you right, you are running a VNC X server on the
remote box, along with your application, so the app can talk to that without
using network bandwidth, then just connecting to the remote box with the
VNC client.
Does this work if you use an ordinary server locally on the sun box?
