Dirk,

There's a missing link here on the history of the Xerox OS. I recall several machines at Martin Marietta (now Lockheed Martin) back in the 70's that were all the rage to electronics design engineers called the 'Perq', I think. The machine was made by Three Rivers? It's quite a while ago. Anyways, they used Xerox's GUI with a desktop and icons and menus popped-up when you pressed a certain mouse button. They were actually pretty quick for their time (and expensive) and I believe they used the 68000. We also had a Xerox machine but it was only used to drive a huge electrostatic printer.
