I don't really know about the "silent-dup-error" but it is in the example
script, so I use it.
I use this very technique so my xwin is launched with environment
variables set the way I want, without maintaining a seperate set of batch
commands, and I don't have a left over window - but there is a residual
process reported. I presume the parent.
