That goal mean:
1) Doing Multi-windowing in a maaner that X-desktop would not hide Win32
desktop.
3) Adding Win32 Clipboard to one of the existing Window Manager or
xclipboard, which would
allow cut and paste between and X and Win32 applications.
These are the desired features, which would make current X-servers
comparable to
commercial x-servers.
