You probably won't be able to run MS Windows within X.  MS Windows,
like many DOS programs, directly accesses the video hardware, making
it virtually impossible to keep it inside someone else's window.  
(Although Desqview can do it, I think.)  You might have better luck using
MS Windows running as an X window manager.  I believe there are
a couple of these products out there in the real world (ie. for $$$).

Good Luck...
David
