FWIW, the compressed attachment came through. But it would be nice (TM) to get a plain-text attachment, as that could be easily read through the web archives while not polluting the actual message with inline text. > Hi, > > I had everything perfectly working with "startx :0" until I decided that > I needed to emulate a 3-button mouse.

You seem to indicate that you liked the separate root window -- for that, remove the -multiwindow option. Also, if you want to emulate a 3-button mouse, try the -emulate3buttons option. FWIW, you can pass extra arguments to the X server via startx. For example, to get the above, use "startx :0 -- -emulate3buttons -clipboard". > [snip] > _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root This might be a problem if that socket is not readable/writable by you.
