I was doing just that on top of Mac OS X.  The only thing I was leaving
Squeak for was a web browser.  So, I switched to Debian, figuring that OS
X is overkill if all you're using is OmniWeb and Squeak.  Now I'm using
Squeak and Opera, and them in the same workspace, two tabs in ion. :)

Actually, a while back I was considering such a thing.  Probably not a
full ICCCM set to make Squeak *the* window managaer, but a handful of
FFIs to allow switching X11 windows from Squeak while running another
wm.

Amen!  Good to see some enthusiasm, I spend too much time on #squeak,
where no one gets as pumped as I do. :P (/me ducks)
