I think this is very do-able.  Actually, it's something I had thought about a short
time ago as well.....a good way to allow qvwm to seamlessly run apps (both X and
Win32) without the user having to jump through the "hoops" of specialized launch
objects or having to launch from an xterm.  Definitely an idea worthy of
consideration!  :-)
