You should have a file "startxwin.bat" in your /usr/X11R6/bin. Copy a shortcut to that to your desktop. <snip> > However, it may interest you to know that the fact that xterm and other > clients pop up alongside the other Windows apps is a relatively recent > /feature/ (root-less X).

Apparently, you can get the right setting by editing the invocation of XWin in the startxwin.bat file I just mentioned.... the "-multiwindow" option is what you probably have enabled, and activates the "integrated Windows-based window manager." The -rootless option actually uses a /transparent/ root window with an external window manager. You probably want to use the -fullscreen option, which does the normal X thing. Then you'd want to replace the (commented-out) line that starts twm with whatever wm you'd like to enjoy.
