You can compare the X-server and the WPS...they are both the primary GUI-shells.
The PM (Secondary GUI shell) can be compare with shell's like the KDE (Is KDE the thertiary shell ??).
The Object Orientation (SOM) of the WPS should then the integrated in either the X-Server or the Window Manager (I think...I'm not really used to *NIX terms..I mean the layer between the Shell (KDE) and the XServer).
But it should be based on the current Linux CORBA implementation instead of the old IBM CORBA implementation, known as SOM. AFAIR SOM was abandoned in 1997 or 1998, in a beta stage of version 3 and given free. AFAIR it was also ported to AIX and Windows, in relation to the OpenDOC technology. This is why I do not believe IBM would do it. You are looking for something like the FreeOS project (Goal is to make an OpenSource version of OS/2, at first based on Linux technology)
