The principal problem with implementing GKS on top of X is that GKS was
designed to work with displays and devices that couldn't change their
attributes in mid-session.  So, unless you want to break some part of GKS
(like being able to draw lines of a specified real units length), you
lose things like resizing windows.

A more sophisticated implementation than the one from Visual Engineering
would allow more sophisticated use of fonts (another area where the GKS
standard seems to be lacking), resize, automatic redraw when the window
gets clobbered (the VE version can do this on a programmer level, not
on the device-dependent level), the ability to set sizes and positions
of GKS windows, and the ability to open multiple windows as multiple 
GKS workstations (which seems to be a limitation of the current 
"quickie" VE implementation.)

I have no idea if the VE version is publically available, but a test
copy was made available to Project Athena for testing.  I also
have no idea whether the version of GKS on X I'm using will resemble
their released version.
