I'm asking indeed not for an X Client implementation (I guess that is what sqUnixX11.c and the HostWindowPlugin implementation for Unix do) but for an X Server implementation, which could allow us to manage arbitrary Unix windows in our Squeak Morphic world. Is there already some solution like this? If not, anyone here who could make an estimation about the effort for this? :-)

It does BUT it seems like it needs some updating to use some more modern protocols; I can connect to it from the RFB client in Squeak but not from the RealVNC client etc. The most up to date version(s) I know are in the http://source.squeak.org/ss repository  - beware - there are what looks like two packages named RFB in there but the 'proper' one is 'RFB' and the other is actually ' RFB'.
