Hi,
I am just wondering if anyone understands why XWin detaches/runs in
the background, when launched from Windows Command Prompt.
I assume this is due to XWin being marked as a GUI, not console
application (to stop it popping up a useless console window when run
directly e.g. via explorer or a shortcut).

Is this special detection and handling in the main() (or whatever
entrypoint is applicable)?
This is something cmd (and powershell) does. I don't know the mechanism.
I think you can make cmd wait with 'start /w'. Or maybe making the
command part of a pipeline...
