You don't have to be so draconian. At one point IDL started coming in both
Openwindows and Motif versions, and I think it now only comes in Motif
versions. Depending on what version of IDL you're running, look in your bin
directory and look for a file called idl_motif. You should be able to run that
instead of the other.
Another problem might be color allocation. This generally only shows up when
someone tries to use widgets. You can solve this by putting the line
Idl*colors: -5
in your .Xdefaults file. In VMS I believe this is called something like
DECW$DEFAULTS.DAT.

Mike -
Either (i) dump the IPX for anything other than a Sun, or (ii) get
Motif for Solaris. (i) is guaranteed to work, as everybody else uses
Motif. About (ii), I am too ignorant to guess, though I have jhad a couple
of reports of minor compatibility problems with images linked against
earlier releases of X11.
So much for "open computing."
