This isn't really news, as the program is a few month old, but it
seems like noone realized it:

xpmfb is a DIVE X-Server, what means it can display X-Windows under 
OS/2. When you start it a window with the Xfree86OS/2 opens in a 
pre-definded resolution size. All X-Programs run in this window.

This is not exactly was Everblue wants to do, as they want to 
integrate the programs, but it's a good think while you're waiting
for Everblue.

The Program can coexist with other X-Server configurations as its
run through a separate Batch file.

I've tested the program with the most popular Xfree86OS/2 Apps, such
as X-Chat, GIMP and Enlightenment. All ran except for Enlightenment,
but you can still have Enlightenment under a normal X-Server with the
right configuration.

You can find the program on Hobbes:

or on:

where you can also find a screenshot and a helpful script.
