Now by default the multi-window mode is used: you don't have anymore a
specific window for the X server.
In this mode Windows Explorer is used as a Window Manager and you can
see that X is running by looking at the "X" shaped icon in the tray.
If you want X to start as it did before you must launch directly XWin
without the -multiwindow options, or you can provide a .xserverrc file
in your home directory (or the system wide configuration in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xserverrc).
Ciao,

Hi !
I was using Cygwin and Xfree86 until 1 or 2 weeks ago to run software in
my department from home. Now suddenly when I open a shell and type
startx it doesnt start XWin.exe any more. I just get anther bash with
different colors. Before it used to open a window with X running in it
aftrer which I could connect to my dept and run the software I need.
Have you heard of this problem before ? Is it known or am I missing some
change in the configurationfiles ?
Thanks a lot, I would really like to keep using the program, because its
great.
Ciao, Michael
