What I'm really looking for in this area, is an (free) X server for 
windows that *doesn't* frame all the X application windows in a Windows 
window.  I want Windows to "be the windows manager".  I've little 
interest in the "desktop" for this application.  It doesn't sound like 
the cygwin version works this way....
