How about following ;-)

> XWin -screen 0 640 480
XWIn -screen 0 640x480x16.  I prefer to use this, though depth 
In Harold code is useless, but I did little change so it accepts -screen
command like on UNIX that is -screen 0 WxHxD. Many UNIX users are used to of
it, thus using -screen 0 640x480x16 was returning unkown -screen command
error.  I prefer old UNIX style command-line options.

Please put export DISPLAy=127.0.0.1:0.0 before you issue XWin command.
