In a sense, yes.  See following.

LinuxAOS (special case of UnixAOS) is analogous to DOSBox.  
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOSBox
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Oberon/A2#Installing_and_Running_UnixAOS

Both are applications in the sense of running on a host system.  The 
application alone appears identical to the system running on native 
hardware.  DOSBox appears as DOS.  LinuxAOS appears as AOS.

Correct  Debian 10 on a bare PC.

Lightdm starts at system startup and starts X which runs until Debian 
is shut down.

This is the LAN with your nomenclature.
A  Debian 10 running directly on a bare PC.
B  LinuxAOS subsystem running in Debian on A.
C   OLPC adapted Fedora running on XO 1.5 laptop.

Correct.  Works fine with "Gtk-WARNING ... Theme parsing error ..." 
emitted repeatedly to the starting ssh console on the laptop.

It does work with repeated warning.  The telnet console in LinuxAos 
connects to localhost, A, and gives the A command line.  There the met 
function starts mousepad successfully and gives the dconf-WARNING 
repeatedly.

> Is that the full picture?

Yes.  

Summary
Mousepad is started two ways.  Each gives a working mousepad. Each 
gives repeated warnings; B warns about dconf; C warns about Gtk ... 
Theme parsing.

Full warnings in my earlier messages.

Thanks,                ... P.
