There's also a long running ticket in dosemu2 around some issues with DesqView/X

In some more years it will probably be working fine there.
- LeFantome 4y ago2011? Try 1992! DesqView/X was graphically multi-tasking DOS programs and running X applications the year after Linux was released. This was the Windows 3.1 era ( no cooperative multitasking ) and before OS/2 2.0 was out. Amazing. Like everything else at the time though, it could not run Windows applications ( Microsoft Office ) and so it was doomed.
