Rootless mode

[David Fraser]

Kensuke, Harold,
I was just wondering whether it would be possible to create a test build 
of the X server with this multi-window
mode. Obviously there are issues with it but I presume they only come up 
in multi-window mode?
It would just be really nice to see it beginning to work - this is 
something lots of people have wanted for a long time,
congratulations for getting it going!
