Come to think of it, that's what happens if you're running under X. The 
library would figure out that an X server is being used, and tell X 
which grid is primary. X then uses that grid as input to a compositing 
operation that puts it on the real primary buffer together with the 
rest of the windows. Unless of course it's full-screened, in which case 
X just tells the kernel that the application's grid is the primary.
