Ditto.

A bit more detail, from pstree -Aap:
|-sh,2027 /usr/bin/startxwin
| `-xinit,2058 /home/ht/.startxwinrc -- /usr/bin/XWin :0 -multiwindow -auth ...
| |-XWin,2059 :0 -multiwindow -auth /home/ht/.serverauth.2027

Mine was just a two-liner, changing it to none or
/etc/X11/xint/startxwinrc has no effect.
Aha. A similar problem occurs with xemacs when launched from a shortcut
with command
H:\C64\bin\run.exe -p /home/ht/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin /usr/local/bin/xemacs-21.5-b34.exe
The common denominator is clearer run.exe -- does that give anyone a
useful clue?
