I would guess the "hoops" are more useful if you're trying to debug the 
desktop components (KDesktop, KWin, etc) :-). For the moment, I just 
keep a Konsole session running with KDE4 settings and simply do e.g. 
'kwrite &'. So, as Andreas says, as long as you are running apps and not 
the full desktop there isn't really any need for nested X sessions.
