It looks very interesting.  From the release notes, it looks like it has
clipboard support, too. I suppose the big question I would have is
network performance, i.e., does it have the Cygwin problem of using a
Linux network stack on top of a Windows network stack or if it behaves
like Xming and writes directly to Windows sockets.  Since it is only a X
Server, I'm guessing it's the latter - John
