   Exceed is an X Server.  An X Server is the program which displays graphics for
client programs (amoung other things).  What you want is some sort of emulation
layer which will convert Windows graphics calls to the X protocol.  I believe that
Citrix has a custom version of NT which does this (only 3.51 though).
