conflicts?  We're using the USL C++ Standard Components which has the String
class.  This, however, conflicts with the typedef char *String found in
<X11/Intrinsic.h>

Answer: This is very simple to workaround.  I agree that it is "wrong" but all
you need to do is:

#define String XtStringType
#include "all the X files"
#undef String


This will translate the offending symbol.
