Re: Windows Manager
couldn't that be output on stderr/stdout ? However, you may be surprised at the result of invoking XWin -help, which is to say you'll see no output (nor will the X server start up). The help output _is_ produced, but it goes into /tmp/XWin.log (!) I hope that helps, especially by adding to your repertoire of self-help techniques.

Re: Windows Manager
Martin, When I need to know about command-line options or environment variables that are not documented or for commands for which documentation is not available or at hand, I do something like this: % strings /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin.exe |egrep -e -rootless -rootless EXPERIMENTAL: Run the server in pseudo-rootless mode. -rootless Here it appears both the strings from the argument processing code and the usage message are found. This, then, suggests that there is a help message available. This command: % strings /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin.exe |egrep -e ^- produces 123 lines, including this one: -help prints message with these options (Note that this particular program does not abide by the POSIX conventions stipulating the use of two hyphens for multiple-character option names.) However, you may be surprised at the result of invoking XWin -help, which is to say you'll see no output (nor will the X server start up). The help output _is_ produced, but it goes into /tmp/XWin.log (!) I hope that helps, especially by adding to your repertoire of self-help techniques.

Re: Windows Manager
You need rootless mode (add -rootless to X server command-line). It's not perfect (main window still exist, though invisible; you still need to launch some X11 window manager to draw window borders); multiwindow mode should provide seamless X11/Windows integraton when it is finished.
