RE: no /etc/X11 in 4.0.3



Are you starting the local clients from the same DOS Window or Bash shell
you started
The Xserver and set DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0?  If not then you will need to set
DISPLAY
In every window (DOS or bash) before starting local cleints.  You can also
set the 
DISPLAY in autoexec.bat file and reboot that way... Whatever you prefer.
