G'day Karsten,
To be honest I couldn't say as I don't have windows on by box, I just spotted
this program at /. where it was the subject of sum debate, there web page has
some screen shots showing a windows box runing 2 or 3 X apps simultanency,
thing like Ghostscript, bash and I think The Gimp.
You probably take a bit of a performance hit, but new computers are
over powered anyway,
Cheers
Joel
