Why? That's easy, I want to develop my cross-platform applications using an
xterm! the damn cygwin windows doesnt have a scroll bar >:(
other than that there is no pressing need for me to run X under win4lin
except for the sheer coolness of it.
I certainly dont want the cygwin/X code to be riddled with #ifdefs and hacks
in order to get it to run under win4lin. But if there is a simple fix and/or
work-around, I would be delighted to help discover it.
