From: Holger Krull holger dot krull at gmx dot de I know that. Sorry for being to short with the description. The X-Server dies when openbox starts, and it shouldn't do that, even without a window manager. But i see this only every tenth attempt to start openbox, while the original poster seems

How do I start XWindows in full screen mode with OpenBox window manager? It used to be that I'd just put the command for the window manager at the end of startxwin.bat. Now that file's gone away. I can't use startxwin.exe as it is multi-window only. I can run XWin.exe, but the only command
