It's a bit of an omission from the startxwin man page [1], that it doesn't actually tell you it's adding '-multiwindow' However, reading that man page does tell you the syntax for adding extra server arguments (e.g. -- -logfile file) to your startxwin invokation. Note that invoking the server directly will not do the other things that startxwin does (i.e. waiting until the server is started and then executing ~/.startxwinrc) In future, please start a new email thread, rather than replying to an existing one and changing the subject.
