Thanks for that. I find X very confusing and mainly just want a simple xterm to run mutt, slrn and unix like-codes. I think I may have a messed up system with not having a clean upgrade to the latest X. I was using startx and I can not see where XWin is called there. Maybe I'm blind. I am now using startswin.bat and I've played with startxwin.sh. That clearly calls XWin and I have the -blipboard argument in and it works fine. However the -multiwindow causes an error and it just gives an xterm, but that is fine for now. I'll look into that later.
