I've previously built XWin w/debug info and debugged it in GDB.

But this time I ran into a new problem:

When I run XWin in GDB, it constantly gets access violations. This is
during startup, and before I've got some sort of understanding of this,
I don't want to attempt anything more ambitious.

BTW, I don't think my patch to make -multiplemonitors the default ever
made it into CVS. Any chance? ;-)
