Windows placed directly onto desktop (dream or reality)

[Eugene Rosenzweig]

X-Win32 from www.starnet.com and Hummingbird Exceed X server provide native
window modes but they are both pricey commercial products and they don't
have the advantage of the having the whole cygwin environment. It is handy
to be have the ability to have native X windows, provides more seamless
integration with native GUI. I look forward to XFree86 support for it.
