BScreen::BScreen: an error occcurred while querying the X server

[Mark Paulus]

Do you have a .xinitrc that is starting a window
manager?  

If you want to use startx and want to use a window manager
via .xinitrc (such as fvwm2 or wmaker), then you also
need to add a .xserverrc that invokes XWin WITHOUT
the multiwindow option:
e.g.

$ cat .xserverrc
exec X :0 -clipboard

$ cat .xinitrc
exec wmaker
