When I start XWin using xlaunch, trying to the start programs from the .XWinrc popup menu (right-click on the X icon, left-click on the program's entry in the menu), programs do not start. I get only those programs started by my script that I told xlaunch to run. I would like to use xlaunch, since it solves the issue I had with the startxwin taskbar icon being visible (when I claim it should not be, and it didn't use to be), but not being able to start additional programs makes this approach less useable. Looking at this from outside, it is hard to say whether the real issue is in xlaunch, in XWin, or the result of some misunderstanding between them.
