I can confirm that you can run (at least some) GUI apps if you start an X server on Windows (like Xming, etc.), and export DISPLAY.

yay! \o/ can you check what happens after you wake from sleep/hibernation? are those apps still fully functioning?

  I did not try GUI stuff, but when my tablet went to sleep while executing a long-running command, when I returned to the bash shell, the command failed with a message stating "interrupted syscall" or the like. Not sure if this is the common/intended behaviour.

    This frankenstein contraptions isn't going to work correctly until they add so much bloat it's not even worth it.

Oh man, thanks for the tip! Works wonderfully. I just apt-get'ed synaptic and it seems totally functional :) Xemacs and Angband don't work, but the fact that so much works already bodes pretty well for the future.

  Wait, someone still uses Xemacs? I think you're the first I've run across in a long while.

Can you please test graphics with LLVMPipe?

  I'm using xming as well. glxinfo reports OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc. OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.4, 256 bits) OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 10.1.3 OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30 glxgears works for about a second, then crashes: XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server "localhost:0.0" after 732 requests (732 known processed) with 0 events remaining. When i run it from strace, it keeps running.

I currently don't have access to a Windows box, but am currently working on a CLI app in Swift for OSX and Linux. It would be interesting to see if this effectively makes swift cross-platform "for free".
