Sometimes you have to stop and ask yourself what you're trying to accomplish.

Just fucking install a real OS and go back to /g/.

I hear Windows comes with a built-in shell and user environment called Windows. You may want to try it sometime.

Most (probably all) of the gnome subsystems work.

I don't really know why you want to do this, but when I need to run X applications on Windows, I use the Xming server which runs natively on Windows, and then just connect your window-manager to the Xming server. This is enough for running X apps on Windows, but if you're using a lot of them, you might as well just use a VM, just like you're probably better off using a VM instead of WINE for Windows applications - things are a lot more reliable in the environment they're supposed to run.
