Yes, I have experimented with it and even considered using it for Win32
GrADS. I ended up going with Xming,

                 http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/

a native WIn32 build based on the x.org sources; currently Xming is bundled
with Win32 GrADS running off display :7. The main reason was that Xming was
relocatable (can be run from a USB mem stick), much faster, smaller and did
not require the overhead of the JVM. Otherwise, WeirdX seemed to work OK
with GrADS.
