Invoking rootless mode

[Bradey Honsinger]

I didn't see a mention of the argument to invoke the new rootless mode
anywhere in this thread--no doubt it's in the updated man pages, but I just
grabbed the Test66 binary. Logically enough, it's '-rootless':

    -rootless
            EXPERIMENTAL: Run the server in pseudo-rootless mode. 

You don't appear to need the '-nodecoration' option when you use
'-rootless'. Note that the output of 'XWin -help' goes to /tmp/XWin.log[1],
a fact which I had forgotten.

This is really cool--many thanks to Matsuzaki, Thomas, and Harold! It's a
bit of a hack, but it looks very useful, and at the least it should get most
of the 'Why doesn't cygwin-xfree work like my favorite commerial X server?'
people off of Harold's back. I'll probably go back to full-screen 'rooted'
mode, though--I _like_ hiding all of the Windows junk when I'm working in X.
