I said earlier that you would still have to run an X Window Manager. Yes,
Cygwin/XFree86 will eventually have a window manager that opens X windows in
Windows windows. However, we only got rootless support three days ago, so I
wouldn't count on that integrated window manager being finished any time
soon, unless you are willing to help write it.
