  Since you are running XEmacs, gnuserv is distributed with it by default.
Just do:

(condition-case ()
  (require 'gnuserve))

(server-start)

  What would be really nice is if someone reimplemented the old epoch stuff
where you could muck about with window properties and such directly.  Then
you could do something similar to what netscape does with -remote.
