problem

[Danilo Turina]

Now by default the multi-window mode is used: you don't have anymore a 
specific window for the X server.

In this mode Windows Explorer is used as a Window Manager and you can 
see that X is running by looking at the "X" shaped icon in the tray.

If you want X to start as it did before you must launch directly XWin 
without the -multiwindow options, or you can provide a .xserverrc file 
in your home directory (or the system wide configuration in 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xserverrc).

Ciao,

		Danilo
