What about putting the windows.h and the X11 Headers in different namespaces
namespace WIN {
#include "windows.h"
}
namespace X11 {
#include "X11.h"
}

this would mean all X11 functions and type would be named X11::xxxx
eg.X11::WINDOW. the windows types can be referenced by WIN::xxxx
eg. WIN::DoNothingLoop. I don't know if the windows or X11 includes
already have some namespaces defined - you should first have a look
into the includes. Maybe you should try putting only one of the includes
in the namespace.
