I'm afraid that wouldn't work. In order to run non-trivial X11
apps, you _will_ need a full-blown X server, including X libs.
You'll also need at least a very simple window manager (while
xclock would probably work without, Netscape would certainly be
pretty unusable). Although, the window manager would be the
smallest problem of your approach...
