There is a product called XVision that does exactly this under Microsoft
Windows.  According to the press announcement in comp.newprod of several months
ago, X applications can run in standard MS-Windows windows, one application
per window.  Or, the system can be configured so that one MS-Window is a
virtual X workstation in which multiple X-windows may reside.  The announcement
was nearly 200 lines long, so I'd rather not repost it here.  In leiu of that,
the vendor's name and address are

   VisionWare, PO Box 3991, Minneapolis, MN 55405, USA
   Tel +1-612-377-3627

   VisionWare Limited, The Leeds Business Park, Morley, Leeds LS27 0JG, UK
   Tel +44-532-522020. Fax +44-532-526614. Telex 556283. Email: vware@vison.uucp

I think it's almost inevitable that they will release a PM version of this
product.  I've never used it, but it sounds impressive.
