If I use .xinitrc with "exec twm", startx reports the above.
If you use startx, by default, the multi-window mode is used (startx
passed -multiwindow to XWin.exe) and, hence, the native Windows window
manager is used as X window manager.
The same using another window manager. It works fine if I add
it to startxwin.sh. It used to work with XFree86.
Instead using startxwin.sh "-multiwindow" is not passed to XWin.exe and
you have to old behavior.
Ciao,
