virtual dimension (v0.94) shows xterms on all desktops.

[E. Kuemmerle]

Hi,

I can confirm that problem.
Additionally, if I first start the cygwin x-server and open some X
windows and then start virtual dimension, these X windows are handled
correctly.
There are icons on the virtual desktop display and these windows are
located on one virtual desktop.
But for every additional X window that I open after vitual dimension is
started, the described problem occurs as described by Frank.

What happens there???

Regards,
   Eberhard
