That is an interesting line of thought.

If xorg.conf were to directly start an application , would there be any constraints. I was planning to develop a Java Awt application which would embed workflows in it and other embedded applications which are available such as embedded open office.

Would this application require a minimum windows manager and so on?

Or even better, why not make Xorg load directly this application? After all,
why use a window manager when you do not want any windows at all?
