Have you actually tried installing the x-server and using it? It takes a while to download, but can be used somewhat unobtrusively. The default startxwin.sh shell script starts xwin in the multiwindow mode, which means you get a black X icon in the system tray when there are no X clients, and otherwise each client opens in a fairly normal looking window on the windows desktop. If you comment out the xterm invocation in the script, you mostly don't need to be aware that X is running. Client windows will just pop up over the windows desktop. Put your modified script in /usr/local/bin, and you are in business. My advice is to just try X, and see if you might like it, as opposed to going to huge lengths not to use it.
