Is your suggestion to refactor Xlibs & Xprogs so that Xlibs is all that *is* required to run X.
Leaving Xprogs with only FLTK libs and the custom FLTK GUIs?

Will be available in rc2.

On a notebook it works, boot messages:

Skipping regular Ext.....
XVesa Xlibs ...

On my desktop where all tries fail:

Ah NTFS. NTFS support is deprecated starting with 4.2
core.gz is not able to mount cde on NTFS to continue loading. However. the cde directory should only reside on iso and not be copied to any hard drive. Adding the X/GUI extensions to where your normal TCE directory resides will solve your issue, and is the expected location. This way individual updates to the X/GUI will occur as for any regular extension.

Nothing is installed on NTFS, these are just reside inside of the box. See earlier posts, CorePlus CD doesn't boot to X/GUI as it doesn't load CDE from the CorePlus CD
