Two people have responded similarly, so I was unclear.
I was not suggesting buidling the X protocolos into litestep. I was
suggesting building the windows shell capabilities into XFree86.
I want enlightenment to handle my entire windows desktop.

That's a shame. And my memory would seem to agree. I've seen the
explorer desktop shell crash while other apps continued to run on more

If explorer (the desktop shell layer) were managing the windows, the
titlebars & control buttons would have gone away, and they didn't.
