Wow! This is great! Just what we were discussing earlier...
Just one comment: Is it not possible to automatically set the DISPLAY
variable from X so that it automatically starts the xterms etc in the
right X display, rather than having to pass a commandline parameter? (In
fact, if they inherited the environment, this might happen anyway, but I
don't know if X defines DISPLAY inside itself...)
Spawned commands should inherit the ENV settings at the time XWin.exe was
started, so if your startx script sets DISPLAY before starting XWin.exe then
you don't need any cmdline options.
A simple string replacement in the HandleCustomWM_COMMAND() function
in winmultiwindowprefs.c would also work to allow things like
"xterm -display %display%" to work, but it's not in the code in the patch.
