No problem.
Do I have to download anything more from the Cygwin setup to use the
Multiwindow mode, or just add the -multiwindow parameter to XWin.exe?
Also, what do I do about the line invoking the window manager in the
script file, be it twm or fvwm?
I suggest that you make a backup of your startxwin.bat, then download
the newest XFree86-startup-scripts package using Cygwin's setup.exe.
That new file has some additional documentation that you may find
helpful and it uses -multiwindow by default now. Yes, you have to
comment out any existing window manager so that you don't run two of
them at once.
