I'd be interested in this project. I beleive there was a project a while back that did something like this using xnest. it was called transluxent and was kind of a hack. http://www.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~unk6/transluxent/
Also, speaking of pbuffers, Alan Cox mentioned that he a received a code drop from via that had pbuffer support for savage and maybe CLE266. did that ever make it into CVS? I'd hate to see it get lost.
