I have nearly managed to run correctly X11 apps under Opie with Xqt. I am
posting here because some X11 packages have missing dependencies that will
be very easy to fix for package maintainer. Anyhow here are the steps for
running X11 apps under Opie:

1/ Install Xqt: ipkg install xqt
2/ Add the X11 feed in /etc/ipkg.conf
3/ Install some X11 apps (eg: ipkg install abiword) + missing dependencies
(see note [1])
4/ In a terminal run: export DISPLAY=:0.0
5/ Add a file /home/root/.gtkrc-2.0 with this line: gtk-font-name = "Verdana
1" (see note [2])
6/ Run your x11 app from command line (eg: abiword)

[1] Dependencies to be fixed:
- abiword depends on gdk-pixbuf-loader-png
- Every apps depending on pango seems to depend also on:
pango-module-basic-x + pango-module-basic-fc

[2] Fonts will still be huge (even with font size 1). That can be fixed for
abiword by using font size 0.5 but it will break other apps which need font
size >=1
