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? :-)

I haven't used the RealVNC in years, but it used to work well 
back in the day with a few tweaks: IIRC you need to disable hexile and 
enable zrle and 24-bit colors.
On linux, I can connect to Squeak RFB servers with Remmina[1] and 
Vinagre[2] without problems.

I've been "maintaining" a fork of RFB[3]. Since the main repository is 
read-only, and Ian is not accessible, the current latest version is 
available here: http://leves.web.elte.hu/squeak/RFB-ul.19.mcz .
