I am also running Xwin 4.2.0-25 under XP. I do not run another window
manager (tried it and realized just how bad it would be). I am running
Xwin -multiwindow -clipboard. I am running X all day at work. Though I do
not have the overlapping problem at the beginning of my session, it often
does show itself at some time during the day. I have also been noticing
another problem that have been reported on this list. If I try to run
different X apps on different virtual desktops (using MS Virtual Desktop
Manager), all X apps just start to blink very quickly and the apps become
unusable.
I also noticed two other things that I have not seen reported here yet.
First, as I bring up an X app (most often xterm), it often reacts as if the
enter key is being held down. This will usually stop if I hit enter. The
second thing that I have noticed is that in some apps (ddd is the one that I
can easily reproduce this in), I can select data by double or triple
clicking, but if I try to drag the mouse over words, the selection gets
confused and ends up just emptying the clipboard. I have not yet tried this
without the -clipboard setting, but I assume that this is the root cause.

Peter,
Are you saying that you are passing -multiwindow to XWin.exe
AND running
the window manager multiDesk? If that is the case, then you
are doing
something that is not intended: you are running two window managers.
Obviously, this causes problems.
Please explain what you are doing.

multiwindow mode, and the integrated clipboard is very nice also.
