I would be very suprised if this was possible.

If different processes must display things simultaneously, maybe build something like a display server for them?

Yes, sharing a view b/w applications (not sure of processes) is permissible.

Re: Query about View Architecture.

Applications are processes on "true" Symbian i.e. on the phone.

It probably depends what you mean with "sharing": The UIQ view system allows one application to call another application and tell it which view to display, and later you can return to the calling application. Some sort of "sharing", alright, but still for any view there is exactly one owner application, and as I understand it only that owner application can use the view directly, e.g. for displaying something.
