Hmm "weleven".. "welven".. "wulven" "wolven".. "wolverine"
"wellverine", "well", "the Graphics Elven", "We11even - the Graphic
Well" ;-)

Most of my 'negativism' in this subject is probably because of
misunderstandings, do we/you/whoever have any ideas of what this W11
should do, replace the X11 libraries with something that talks
directly to the windows drawing area.. sort of? Giving up possibility
to display on other screens?

I was thinking about porting x-applications to a windows machine,
compile it on the machine, and run it on the windows machine, with or
without an x-server running on the windows machine.. Then you need
.lib's, .dll's with the X-library interface..

Both If I recall right, the guy behind the GDI project joined the
DirectX project :-) They are working on getting the Cygwin port of the
XF86 server workable on 9x too..

BTW someone mentioned windows (machine) to windows (machine)
application sharing applications, there are a cool client-server
thingy called vnc that allows you to remotely access your X-windows,
MS Windows (desktop), from X, MSWindows, Palm...
