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. Think nested X
server for Unix.

Possibly statically linked.

And here is the nit: It works under cygwin. 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?
