I also have Professional (I ommited it) and all latest patches.

It didn't crash.

It crashed.

Before I was using -rootless -emulate3buttons -clipboard

You don't need any. With -nodecoration -lesspointer or
-rootless -emulate3buttons -clipboard it crashes as soon as I
close it. I thought it crashed when I started it. I assume I
was wrong.

In fact, the error messages are different if I use IceWM or
twm. With twm it still crashes, but only displays:

xinit:  connection to X server lost.
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

Attached.

Does it mean something with resolution or color depth ? Under
Display Properties I see 1024x768x32bpp.

I ran the emulator with default settings.
