keyboard input:
key pressed -> back-x11(xim/windowing system/window manager protocol) -> appkit

display:
window resized -> back-x11 (window configured) -> appkit ->
back-cairo/art/xlib -> back-x11 (displaying result)

you need something to replace back-x11. a subclass of
/System/Library/Headers/GNUstepGUI/GSDisplayServer.h

may be you can use alexm's window decoration code to get rid of the
window manager.
