Yeah I know they exist, but getting xwindwos to run inside a true
linux emulator is simply not possible without relying on some type of
windows graphics libs and faking it. There's only so much complexity
involved in an emlulator. I haven't actually seen the app so I wouldn't
know, but I'm guessing there is no graphical support... I could be wrong
though.
