== Features == There are two ways to run Cygwin/X: In one, an X server runs in a single Microsoft Windows window that serves as the X display, which holds the X [[root window]] and all the other X windows in the X session. You use an X window manager to manage the X windows within the display. You can run multiple X servers, each in its own Microsoft Windows window. The other method is to run Cygwin/X ''rootless''. In this method, each X window corresponds with its own Microsoft Windows window and there is no root window. There is no X window manager; Microsoft Windows' window manager moves, resizes, hides, etc. the X windows.
