I ran into a LOT of conceptual issues trying to port a X11 wm to directfb. This was no surprise but I also felt that the current design of DirectFB wm was not up to the task of supporting an advanced wm easily. Also I wanted a WM that was a dual DirectFB/X11 wm. The intrinsic problem is directfb actually implements most of the WM internally and your supposed to be able to just hook a few functions and it just works TM. In my case that design could not meet everything I wanted to do.
But back to your orginial question I think that it would be easy to implement a embedded wm using the current directfb api. If you give it a shot and are having problems send me email. I think you will find the current api is great when it meets your needs.
