rootless & multiwindow mode & Windows 2000sp1

[Harold L Hunt II]

Barrow,

First of all, you do NOT want to use "run.exe" with "XWin.exe".  run.exe 
is not only not needed, but it in fact is known to cause problems with 
XWin.exe.

-rootless and -multiwindow are mutually exclusive --- you use one or the 
other, but never both.

-emulate3buttons is misspelled.

You should be running without -rootless and yes, there should be a dummy 
root window.
