That's hardly a recommendation -- window managers are not very
demanding of performance.  Heck, you can run a window manager (xwem)
implemented in Emacs Lisp (which in turn is based on X protocol
implemented in Emacs Lisp -- xlib).  Several SXEmacs guys do.  (Not to
mention anybody running sawfish -- librepl was basically Emacs Lisp on
Ritalin.)
