Duh, I should have though of that.  Where do these settings reside
now, since I'm no longer starting XWin using the batch file?

All my "work" work is X-based, I'm super-comfortable with the
interface, for example, using the mouse for copy/paste which is a
little more awkward in mintty.  Plus I love Xemacs.

I think I do, because I can move the windows to the other monitor and
they still function.  Again, I don't know/remember where these
settings reside now.  They're not in my .startxwinrc
