Re: XWin.exe -- xinit link
I think you are looking for $HOME/.xserverrc file. E.g. mine contains: #! /bin/sh X -nowinkill -nodecoration -lesspointer -rootless BTW, this all seems to be documented in xinit man page, as pointed out by Thomas.

Re: XWin.exe -- xinit link
xinit does 2 things - it launches the X server and then one or more X clients. If you want to customize the X client part (including the Window Manager), create/modify/edit the file $HOME/.xinitrc. If you want to customize the X server part, create/modify/edit the file $HOME/.xserverrc. Alternatively, you can pass command-line options to the X server by specifying them on xinit's command-line after --. For example, xinit -- -rootless will cause XWin to startup in rootless mode. As for the console window, there is no way to avoid it being there until xinit completes, which doesn't happen until after the X server shuts down. This is really no different than if you use a Windows batchfile to fire up XWin and one or more local X clients. It's a necessary evil.

Hm, there is also similar to XWin info in system manual (in my installation) 'man xinit' under bash shell You get different results because these are different programs which use different runtime scripts. for XWin.exe all parameters are in startxwin.bat or startxwin.sh where it is executed. xinit.exe presents different approach for running xwindows environment. In my configuration it uses /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file to set all xwindows parameters. Look in these 2 files and everything should be clear I hope. I don't know yet how to run xinit in fullscreen mode. Maybe there are some parameters to X or xdm to set it but I don't know how. regards Artur Heczyc -- Artur Hefczyc http://wttools.sf.net/
