One additional possibility: with a sufficient level of craziness, you might at one point of time link X libraries into Windows executables. Then it would be possible to connect into an Emacs session running on a Windows system from a system with an X server (either Windows with an additional X server, or a posixy system), and have an X frame open on that system. > It should also allow keeping an Emacs server session around (not just > iconified, but actually frameless) that one can plug into using > emacsclient again, and have it open a fresh frame.
