> What would be a good X11 server to use? Are there any that support the full stack? (shm, glx, etc.)

I recall using exodus in the past (at uni), but it's commercial (pricey). Not to mention these days it seems to be Mac only.

From similar threads I've seen recently, and quick searching, it seems Xming is the preferred Windows-option these days:

The free version of Xming does not implement several things properly. Not sure which but some applications haven't run properly. There is a charityware version but I can't find my license for it.

MobaXterm is another free version, It's a term emulator with an X11 server, but you can just turn it on and ignore the term. It runs all the applications Ive found that the free Xming cant.
