This is what I have been thinking. We can move parts of UML back to a subsytem mode and them implement a Xsever in to Win32k.sys/GDI32. You wouldnt even need to recompile X applications provided we implement X properly. All that would be needed is a modded Xserver and X libs. The client libs should still work using X protocal and Xtenstions.
This type of hybrid system could then run any application Windows or Linux and would not suffer from the same problems WINE does because it would be a real Linux Kerenl and GLIBC running.

Something we could do (once we get UML going without cygwin and down into the kernel) is to build a Linux subsystem (mabie even with ports of GTK/QT/X/etc on top of GDI) that could run linux apps just as easily as it can run windows apps.
