It did work with 1.2G and Xarm33.  Even worked with shared libs :)  Not
tried it for a while as KDE works quite nicely (with 1.3 and Xarm33),
although some of the utilities need you to be running a sh derivative and
not a csh derivative... 

It did seem to take quite a bit of memory, you also have to have all the
required graphics libs, ImageMagik, jpg, png etc etc.  AFAIR The main
reason for the memory requirements is that it uses raw png files.
