Am I running under sunview?

Does anyone know a reliable way for a program to detect whether it is
executed under Sunview or not.
The way Sun supplied applications (such as shelltool) work is to check for
WINDOW_PARENT in the environment. This test however breaks down if the
program is executed using `on' since the environment is exported.
What I want to achieve is for a program to detect if it is running from
Sunview and present a graphical user interface or, if not, do the best it
can with a tty style interface.
Does anyone out there know how this can be done ?
