I actually wanted to write a lib that does this to make it easier to run one or more X programs inside another's frame (say, two xpdfs for page-to-page reading of a book). Aside from being extremely sick, the fake X server would have to provide an improbably large window size for the emacs, so that all of the message fits on a screen, which I imagine is not so good for memory requirements, either.
