I think it does, its been around for a while, but maybe it wasn't

Yes, but how? Somehow giving each app something
that's compatible
enough with an X window to handle a standard toolkit is the obvious
way, but it might be more complicated than it sounds... (And it won't
help the portability issue much, unless it's actually an X protocol
implementation - but that's probably a minor issue for most people.)
Thats why I suggested Xnest. It is a genuine X implemntation, and it lets
you run a private window manager to control the rack.
