Hi Alexander,
Thanks! I stumbled upon that last night after figuring out I was confused
about what -multiwindow window ment (I didn't realize it precluded having
a large background window). Now I can successfully open an x-term in non
multiwindow mode and fix my display problem with
startx -- :1
and then from that xterm run either twm & or openbox & and get the
environment I want.
Thank you so much for helping me out with what was probably a really
simple question!
