You don't mention if other IDL X-windows functions besides widgets work or not?
Can you bring up a plot window? If not, try

IDL> PRINT,!D.NAME

and see what it says. If it isn't "X", then say

IDL> SET_PLOT,'X'

and see if that solves your problem. (If it does, then you'll need to
investigate why it doesn't use X-windows automatically.)

What version of IDL are you running?

We use IDL with IRIX 5.2. It certainly displays widgets ok.
We have both 3.5.0 (for IRIX 4) and 3.5.1 (for IRIX 5).
Both of these work with IRIX 5.
