(With "-listen tcp" plus a windows > firewall rule to only let it talk to localhost.) In a regular CMD shell navigated to the bin directory and did: start Xwin :0 -multiwindow -listen tcp and it worked. So none of the current start script seems to be necessary if the only goal is to start the X11 server. It seems to work normally, at least by the criterion that xdpyinfo returns the same information as for the other starts. On a related note - are there any situations where the X11 server itself (not something in its startup script) will start a subprocess and run a different binary? For instance, some sort of font search operation, or perhaps some conditional load of an X11 feature which isn't normally started, or some funny kind of cut and paste operation on the Window side?
