No. I'm not saying it's useless, but I'm saying this could have problems. 
PicoGUI is not a replacement for X, correct? At least not on the desktop, but 
on embeded platforms. The idea of replacement is to replace one thing with 
something different. If PicoGUI were to become X, to have all of X's 
features, then I think I would use X, because it's more mature and it's not 
going to suffer a major rewrite. pg2 is sounding alot like a new kind of X 
with widget support, where those widgets can be on remote machines or in 
dynamicly loaded objects.

And just because a program can do something dosen't mean you need to.
