Why not try startxwin.bat and the "nifty" multiwindow mode (ie. Windows is
the window manager)?

-2 was a broken attempt at an Xm DLL.  It just so happened that mwm was
still linked to the static Xm in that package.  In general, it was broken,
so don't revert please.

You might post strace mwm | grep Mwm 2>&1 to see if it is an app-default
