It is at least a good feature to fail when another instance of XWin.exe
is operating on the same display number. Your fix still allows running
multiple instances like the following, right?
XWin :0 -query foo_host
XWin :1 -multiwindow
XWin :2 -fullscreen
...
As long as it allows the above and only fails if someone tries to do the
following, then it will be fine:
XWin :0 ...
XWin :0 ... [should fail]
XWin :0 ... [should fail]
