I have xorg-server 1.12.0-4; I observed similar behaviour. There was a separate taskbar icon, apparently without a window, and the xterm with a shell that was started because I used startxwin (without specifying an X client); the xterm had its own taskbar icon. When I closed that xterm, its icon and also the "startxwin icon" disappeared (with XWin continuing to run, as expected). Also, since I use 1.12.0-x, the XWin -displayfd option does not work anymore for me: Started through startxwin, XWin doesn't complete starting (after " Trying to create socket for display number 0" is displayed); started directly from bash, XWin crashes due to a "Segmentation fault" right after this point. (I didn't report this because I haven't tested it on other machines yet.) Best regards, Horst
