I'm just being nit picky here, but Reflections has a Win32 based X server, the Win32 Gui is simply what is uses to display.

It's nearly 100% functional (it suffers some of the same limitations with respect to security that all ports do). It doesn't work under windows 9x/98/ME however due to problems with Microsoft's DirectX on those 16-bit kernels :] Or were you referring to the current work to write a GDI based X-Server not a DirectX X-Server?
