I'm sorry, but I don't get that. WINE runs on top of X. If WINE runs a
windows application, then it can export it.
But an even better solution, if you want to export the Windows desktop,
is too use VNC (http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/). It exports nearly
anything anywhere. And it's a proven working solution already implemented.
