No, it's installing CygWin XFree86 and running X directly :-)
You can do that???!! Since when?
Since for a long time.
Looks like it's come a long way, at least according to their page. It wasn't that long ago that the web page for XFree86/Cygwin carried a "it's here but I wouldn't reccomend using it yet" type of warning. Glad to see that they're making real progress there. I'm probably more happy, though, that I don't really need to care that much anymore (i.e. bye bye M$).
There are also plenty of commercial X servers for Windows, for doing exactly this sort of thing.
Some work pretty well, some suck. -Nick
