RE: Multiple XWin.exe programs loading and no xterm

[Scott Cegielski <scegielski at yahoo dot com>]

I wasn'y reffering to your situation specifically.  Even when the script is not
executed twice, two Xwin.exe processes launch.  That is what I described in the
first post of this thread.  As I learned, adding the -kb flag makes the second
Xwin.exe die shortly after the initial launch, but my question is why two are
loading in the first place.
