> No, you don't need to. Just Xwin.exe -nolisten local. Thank you. This worked just fine. I take the point about Google-ing - that's how I learned that diverting tmp/XWin.log might help. I didn't see the "-nolisten local" advice ...
Just one final question: when I get into rxvt after "XWin -nolisten local -multiwindow &", the keyboard suddenly becomes USA, whereas it is set (correctly) to UK otherwise, within bash, within rxvt and for that matter within Windows. In this case, when I exit rxvt back to bash, the UK keyboard is recovered. Does the "-nolisten local" switch impose some kind USA default, as it would indeed appear to do? Fergus
