Ultimately, what you really want is the ability to go both

Windows applications be managed by X window managers (like
LiteStep only allowing X calls all the way down--I think
LiteStep uses GTK or something). Of course, this can get a
bit complicated, especially when the services aren't quite
the same between Windows and X.
Well, that is not an opinion that I have ever seen expressed here to
date and I have not seen any developer announce that they are aiming to
provide such functionality. It has always been my understanding that
99% of people are interested in having MS Windows manage the X Windows
windows.
