Yes.  Rxvt has already been ported using this method.

My concern isn't so much for packages that are ported to Win32 mode
already, although it may, my concern is for those X11 UNIX packages that
have not yet been ported and to ease the labor of porting just as Cygwin
itself eases porting of POSIX packages.

I believe that there are commercial applications that do this, and they
are typically bundled with an X server.  Uhm, Reflections is one package
that comes to mind.  I'll allow the Win32 GUI server to serve the
application or it will allow you to use an X server to serve the
application.

Earnie.
