I had some good experience with the X server that comes with cygwin,
although it can be a bit of a head ache to set up (only some of the
setup files in all the wrong places). It did give me font server
support including true type (couldn't get truetype and type1 going
together though, although its probably possible).
It does have an option to start without a big background window (as if
the programs are win32 native) although I am not sure I have seen it
documented.
Ran lyx, xterm, remote programs and remote sessions over XDMCP.
Once it was running I liked it better then the commercial counterparts I
used (excite, and the one lyx recommends for the trial version, don't
remember the name).
