Well, try winaxe. It's probably much lighter than xfree.
I think I suddenly understand what you're trying to do. You're running an
X server on a windows machine and then running win4lin remotely inside of

MI/X crashes most of the time with most modern X apps. I really liked
winaxe, but haven't found a need to use a win32 X server.
