Thats correct, what he is looking for is a "Rootless" X server. There are many commercial X servers out there that do it, but XFree with Cygwin does not. There are some works going on by some very generous programmers to get the X Server working with the Windows Native GDI, but it will be some time before that is working, and the Rootless mode will not be a first priority.
The problem is that in it's current state, the X server uses a basic frame buffer approach, and draws the frame buffer to the windows display. In order to go to rootless mode, all draw commands need to be done with the GDI.
