Yes - cga, and herc grafix works in a window but ega/vga grafix
must be zoomed to full screen.

You can re-direct the mouse events to a DOS window if you "Focus". With
the DOS window active: Press ALT-D to bring up the "DOS Menu" and click on 
the "Focus" button. Now your mouse events go the the DOS window. To give 
the mouse back to X: bring up the "DOS Menu" and click on "Unfocus". 
This way you can share the mouse between the DOS clients and X.
