No, GtkSocket can embed plain XWindows too. However why playing the
WM,  I think I would try to take a very simple Hildon app based on
some demo application and then take the X11 Window to reparent your
existing application. With

  static  GdkFilterReturn filterfunc (GdkXEvent *xe, GdkEvent *e,
gpointer data) {
    XEvent *event = (XEvent *) xe;
   ...
  }
   gdk_window_add_filter (NULL, (GdkFilterFunc) filterfunc, data );

you should get all XEvents you have selected (at least that is what I suspect).
