BTW it looks like it is possible to do XWindows development using Cygwin. Has anyone had any experience of that?
AFAIK, Cygwin would like for you to pretend that it /is/ a Linux system, but try using the default DDD package to see how expensive the system is. (No, it *isn't* frozen, it just takes that long to start up GDB!) I havn't tried actually writing XWindows apps, though, either in Cygwin or Linux propper. However, I still find the extra Linux apps (including XWindows apps) quite usefull for development in general (I actually prefer DDD to MSVC .NET's debugger, even with a 2min startup!). Your system may differ, of course, It's been a while since I got CygWin updated (it's quite hard to download at work, copy to disk, install at home, due to package tools)
