I use Starnet Communication's X-Win32, and have liked it a lot, both in the sense of features as well as admin set-up. It sells for $200 (last I checked), and you can download a fully-functional demo that will shut itself down after 2 hours of continuous use (but you can restart it again and again, and has no expiration date). X-Win32 will allow you to run your X sessions in a root window, or in multiple client windows, or in both; the latter being a very nifty feature. I played with many X Windows servers for Windows 95, both expensive as well as shareware, including Xceed, and found X-Win32 to be the most stable, and the one that was able to properly display the most X apps and window managers. Check them out at www.starnet.com. - Bill.
