Re: X client wrapper for Win apps?

What I would like to see is a possibility to export the display of windows
hosts to remote machines. X is one of the best solutions for this. As a
side effect, you also could display these applications in the Cygwin
XServer running on windows, but also on an XServer running an hpux or
on Sparc/Solaris or MacOS X or Darwin or ...

Most of the above platforms will never allow to run native windows apps
with wine.
I'm sorry, but I don't get that. WINE runs on top of X. If WINE runs a windows application, then it can export it.

But an even better solution, if you want to export the Windows desktop, is too use VNC (http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/). It exports nearly anything anywhere. And it's a proven working solution already implemented.
