Xgl question

[Matthew`]

I've been playing with an sdl/opengl 3d engine lately, and have got it to  
the point where adding a new renderer is as simple as creating a new  
object that overloads the existing object, and overloading renderthis().  
So my question is, can I use Xgl just like any other object inside my  
application, or am I just dreaming??
  Ex:
class XGLObject : public RText //special console and keyboard input
{
	private:
		XGL *xglsession; //store the pointer to the xgl session
	public:
		myObject(){xglsession = new XGL();/*create an XGL object*/type =  
SOME_TYPE/*for renderer call*/;
		void renderthis(float x, float y, float z, float yaw, float pitch, float  
roll) {
		glPushMatrix();
		glTranslatef(x, y, z);
		glRotatef(roll, ...);0f)
		glRotatef(pitch, ....);
		glRotatef(yaw, ....);
		xglsession->DrawItRightHere();
//		or perhaps:
		glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, xglsession->Texture());
		glBegin(GL_QUADS)
		glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 0.0f); glVertex3f(-1.0f, -1.0f,  1.0f);
		glTexCoord2f(1.0f, 0.0f); glVertex3f( 1.0f, -1.0f,  1.0f);
		glTexCoord2f(1.0f, 1.0f); glVertex3f( 1.0f,  1.0f,  1.0f);
		glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 1.0f); glVertex3f(-1.0f,  1.0f,  1.0f)
		glEnd();
		glPopMatrix();
	}
		bool collideMe(...){return;};//optional collision detection
		void keyboardInputI(SDL_Event &event) //process SDL Events
}; //every object in the engine looks kind of like this, can process  
keyboard input on it's own, and is responsible for it's own rendering and  
collision detection/response. Mouse input can be routed to the object just  
as easily as keyboard input is.
I could create the XGL object before I have the rest of the program runs  
to initialize the Xserver the application needs to draw to initialize gl  
and all that great stuff, and make it optional so the engine can be used  
in regular X11, along with XGL, and in windowz if anyone ever bothers  
compiling it for that.

I'll be releasing the source soon.. But I want to do occullusion first  
because it's a good learning experience.(I'll set up a private cvs for any  
developers interested even slightly, under an open source licsense that  
should protect everyones interests.)
