Fancois,
Understand that ntxlib is an ugly, incomplete, shoddy hack that only
implements about 5% of the X functions and has few prospects for ever being
able to implement any more X functions than that. ntxlib is actually just a
seperate packaging of the hack that was included in Cygwin's rxvt to allow it
to run without an X Server. Don't think that including ntxlib in any random X
application will suddenly cause it to run on Windows without an X Server.
Instead, expect to waste a lot of time only to find out that ntxtlib is a
pretty fruitless idea. But, by all means, mess around with it if you really
want to.
