You might want to look at <url: http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/ >

What is really nice about the latest Cygwin, is that plain X Window is 
now rootless by default, so no Window Manager is needed.

Perhaps you can remove the root X window, by clicking on the X symbol in 
the system tray.

I saw somewhere a program, that is supposed to facilitate sharing 
between the X clipboard and the w32 clipboard.
If someone has a recommendation, please post!
