I did a quick build test of the generic rootless code. hw/xwin builds fine, but nothing is getting built in miext/rootless, nor has rootless extension been added to the XWin.exe link command (so there are unresolved references to rootless* symbols). I am guessing that you had to modify Xserver/Imakefile or config/cf/cygwin.*, but forgot to send a diff for those. Could you send that diff please?
Is the next step in this to pull the multi-window window manager back out of XWin.exe and make it a stand-alone executable, like XDarwin? Or, is our current setup with the integrated multi-window wm the best solution?
Thanks for contributing,

Hello,
This uses miext/rootless. rootless mode create Windows window for each toplevel X window.
The remote X apps's reorder/maximize/minimize performance is improved.
And to click one X window doesn't raise all X window together.
Known problem: When using twm, I click window then that window raise top in Windows but it stay previous position in X. I don't know how to avoid clicking Windows window raise window.
