I do and FTR: I don't want the cygwin Xorg server to be a dependency to
all programs that might use X because that would pull in a lot of
packages that I have no use for on most systems.  You might "recommend"
companion packages that are typically needed to be combined with a
specific selected package when installed in an isolated environment, but
please not a dependency.  It is perfectly OK to install X applications
onto a machine that doesn't have X installed.  You don't need a server
there, nor do you need an xinit start script or anything else besides
the actual application and a handful of DLL.


Regards,
Achim.
