In an effort to keep development on the Personal Iris (and other machines
that dev kits are an option), SGI has elected to make the X window 
development kit for 3.2 a separate option.  This should hopefully 
contain all the missing parts allowing X window development to take
place.  I can't answer you specific question at this time as we have
yet to receive our X dev kits due to several ordering screw-ups.
This btw, is a very annoying arrangement.  I sincerely hope that someday
SGI will realize that X sells more Irises and if people put in the
money for development kits, they should get the X stuff by default.
Ordering it seperately is really stupid (having to order dev kits in
the first place is also questionable).
