Cygwin and X11

Cool discovery of the day: sometime between the previous time I installed cygwin (maybe a year ago) and today (the latest time I installed it), something very cool got added to the default xfree support: a windows-based window manager. Basically, this means you can run X11 apps and manage them just like other windows app instead of a separate X11 window running all the X apps.

Very cool.

It's pretty cool, but can I get the old functionality back?
