I have used Cygwin/XFree86 for a couple of years now almost exclusively for XDMCP. I think it's one of the best products available for this. And now with the new rootless mode, Irix seems quite at home on my PC!
However, every time I fire it up in "stand-alone" mode (non-XDMCP) via the startxwin.bat or .sh scripts, I am amazed by the apparent dearth of X applications (with the exception of xterm and xeyes). Are most people using this product for home-brewed applications or am I missing something really obvious? I would really like to know what most people are using this apparently very powerful tool for.
