I did not realize that startx was just a script. Honestly, the clipboard is the main reason for me
launching Xwin. After editing the script and removing the clipboard argument, the console returns a
"winInitMultiWindowXMsgProc - Caught IO Error." Then I removed the multiwindow argument and the
console returned the following error. I don't have much time to evaluate this scenario or the
patience; hopefully someone has seen this scenario before.
