</div>I did make a start at it, and have gotten as far as getting windows to<br>
open, set title and dimensions and so forth. I got distracted by other<br>
things and set it aside, so I guess I should go back and either finish<br>
it or post the bits that do work.<br>

I'm no expert on X. I was just trying to work it out by reading the<br>
book (Sheiffler & Gettys), stealing code from Ian, and experimenting.<br>
It's not trivial, and most definitely does involve building (and<br>
modifying) VMs.<br>
