Updating to 1.5.9-1 causes problem under WinXP and Win98 when trying to 'startx:'
"window manager already running"
while none is actually running. I was not able to figure out how
'X' comes to this conclusion. Is there a file that can be deleted.
The only other reason I could think of is that we started an
'X -broadcast' session. However, this too has been terminated.
Thanks for any help.

I ran into this too. As I like my OpenBox full-screen window manager, I found that:
startx -- :1
does the job very nicely. As another poster said, display 0 is now claimed by Windows itself, so we need to start up a new X session on display 1 (if you want your full-screen window manager for all of your X apps).
