Hi!
Since yesterday starting "XWin.exe -multiwindow -clipboard" starts,
but stops after short. It doesn't keep running and X11 is not usable.
I had a similar problem. Mine turned out to be that a lock file wasn't
deleted.
I can't remember the name, (and I don't have a Windows computer nearby
to check) but it's something like /tmp/x0.lock. Try "ls /tmp/*lock*"
and delete
what you find.
