Another dumb question I've been wondering about for a while...

Xwindows is in 2 parts, the x server and the window manager, right?  Now
porting the server to run in the background sounds easy enough, would it be
possible to use the PM (or write a program/driver for the PM) to use the PM
as the window manager?

My goal here is to get xwindows programs running on the PM desktop. 
(Especially through the slip/lan thingy.)  Is this even remotely feasible,
and has somebody done it already...
