No you will not.  My work is about getting the code merged into XFree86 4.0
final release, source tree.

Alt+tab keys crashes the xwin.exe.  It does access to Win32 desktop
but when you type

./xterm at the cmd line or bash prompt, server crashes with
ACCESS_VIOLATIONS.
Sometimes it gives a message before crash, Could not lock Surface, which
seems to
me a DirectX Surface Restore issue.

Most users might not use xdm or kdm.  They would also may not use DirectX
server
to telnet from another machine and display on remote UNIX machine.  Mostly
it would be used by end-users to display local X clients or display remote X
clients
on Win32 machine.  You can go ahead and implement Windows message handeling,
please.
