Basically, is it possible to have an application running both X and
NeWS at the same time?

What I mean is can I, say, use X dialog boxes for input and use NeWS
canvases for output? I have a preference for the NeWS imaging model,
but the new DevGuide (which looks pretty slick) would be more than
incredibly handy for writing dialogs -- however, it produces X code.

How does an application handle events from both servers? How is the
graphics end handled?
