Doesn't Gimp have a more native port than using X11 on Windows?  It used
to.

Also, does Cygwin/X do OpenGL acceleration?  The license of
Hummingbird's Exceed that I used to use would.  It was a major pain in
the but if the server was an SGI since so many of their bundled programs
want OpenGL.  Worse yet is their programs that want IrisGL.
