I know I've done this before, but I just can't get it to work on this
new computer. It's running Windows 7 starter. I want to run xterm
w/o running startx, ie I just want to open an xterm in windows, but I
get:
$ xterm
xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
xterm: DISPLAY is not set
If I specify
So it looks like if I first start up the multiwindow window manager
like so: "xwin -multiwindow &", then I can run xterm, but I have to
specify the display. What's the typical way of automating this?

startxwin.bat or startxwin.sh.

And now, sporadically, when I run startxwin.sh, sometimes it works, ie
opens up the xterm, but sometimes some windows open, with text that I
can't read quickly enough, then go away. If I close Xwin and try
again, sometimes it will work, mostly not.
I don't see anything amiss in /var/log/XWin.0.lo

Ha! That seems to do it. Although I also have to wait a bit between
closing the xwin window and restarting, but that's not so bad. I
guess there's some process that takes awhile to exit.
Thanks,
Joel

possibly having to wait for the X server socket to completely free up between
