NO crtl+tab minimize the X-server to Windows task-bar,
you see then a little black DOS console with X-server
output info etc. Hit X on it to close it and X-server will die.
That is why I put in startxwin.bat "start xwin...." so we get a
DOS console which will allow to kill it. But in future we may have
a better method to kill it. BTW: on UNIX crtl+Alt+backspace kills
the X-server (Xfree86). That cobination does not wrok on Windows.
If you more console Windows for twm and xterm etc, add start before the
relevent command in startxwin.bat
