   ...what I want to be able to do is to do lots of raster operations
   to a destination that is not an X window, and use X to display the
   results in one fell swoop.

You can't do this in X 10.  In X 11, you can create an off-screen Pixmap,
do all of your raster-ops (or text painting, or line or curve drawing)
to that Pixmap, and then use the CopyArea request to copy bits from the
Pixmap to a Window of your choice.

   I understand that X is not a window system...

X certainly *is* a window system!
