MI/X works.. it runs TWM locally and it doesn't support XDM style -query
etc.
Other option (which I use in work) is cygwin. Install cygwin, and
extract their Xserver for windows into that directory..
biggest problem (which I haven't managed to work around) is that it
defaults to US keymap (changing the config file has it bleat about
not finding the gb XKB map).
Apart from that, it's bog standard XFree86 4, which IMO is a good
thing.
