2006-09-29 Thread Kenneth Nellis
I write to share the solution to a problem I didn't know I had until I tripped over it this morning. For various reasons, I have not upgraded to the 6.8.99.901 versions of Xwindows. Each time I opened a new xterm window with startxwin.bat after the XWin.exe server was already running, I was gen
