An alternative could be to try MicroWindows
(http://www.microwindows.org) whose authors state its basic memory
footprint is around 100 KByte. I admit I never tried it (just read some
short articles about it), and it certainly has the disadvantage of "not
being X" but a different system that requires apps to be adapted to it.
Anyway, some might find it useful for their projects..
