Whoops, I misspoke. multidesk is a windows based virtual desktop program. When I put X windows apps in more than one virtual desktop, they overlap so that the contents are muddled. Actually, you can still access the windows from the "wrong" virtual DT, I.e., a window that is supposed to be in DT 2 is still accessible in DT3, and obscures the contents of the "proper" window.

Peter,
Are you saying that you are passing -multiwindow to XWin.exe AND running
the window manager multiDesk? If that is the case, then you are doing
something that is not intended: you are running two window managers.
Obviously, this causes problems.
Please explain what you are doing.

I am running Xwin 4.2.0-25, and I am seeing the overlapping window
problem. I am running the freeware window manager multiDesk. I like
the multiwindow mode, and the integrated clipboard is very nice also.
