Not so easy. Many processes one framebuffer. Who writes the framebuffer??
possible solution: one virtual framebuffer for each app. But then there 
is that ugly layer thing again. And this layer would do much the same as 
x does now...

There where many attempts made to solve this. Qtopia is the only one 
that is at least still relevant today.

X as a screen multiplexer is not too bad. Why bother?
