Hi,
Before upgrading cygwin, my window manager was rootless.
With the last upgrade $ startx gets me a rooted window manager.

How can I restore the old rootless behavior?

I found where I can add "-rootless" to the defaultserverarguments in 
/bin/startx.
I can't find a window manager that gives me the old behavior.

Am I not reading the right FAQ? 

Don't get me wrong.. I sincerely appreciate all the work you all do for us;
The current default X11 config just doesn't suit my dual screen workstation
like the old setup did.

Best...
