Multiple X apps/windows simultaneously - is it possible?

Does the window manager on the iLiad support multiple windows at once? I would like to open several X11 apps simultaneously. When I use the iLiad as an X Display, whatever X application I run always comes up full screen. But I have only tried xterm, xclock, and xlogo. They also ignore any geometry command line arguments.

However I know that mrxvt opens up in its own window, so it seems like it must be possible. What is special about mrxvt? Is there a way to make other X applications open in their own window?

Or is there a way to compile a window manager for the iLiad?

Any thoughts would be appreciated...
