Issue #1: In multiwindow mode, XWin doesn't reset when the last client exists. Example: XWin :9 -terminate -multiwindow & sleep 5; DISPLAY=:9 xhost XWin should terminate after 5 seconds, but it remains running.
Issue #2: In the default mode, XWin sometimes terminates instead of resetting. Example: XWin :9& sleep 5; DISPLAY=:9 xhost; sleep 5; DISPLAY=:9 xhost XWin should reset after 5 seconds and again after 5 more seconds. The first reset goes well, but on the second reset XWin usually terminates.
Issue #3:
Hoe does one write a batchfile that does "open an xterm window; run XWin first if necessary"? Being perhaps the most common usage case, such a batchfile should be bundled in the Cygwin/X package and mentioned in the documentation.
Note that /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat always runs a new instance of XWin, even if one is already running. This can result in inefficiency and confusion when the script is executed several times to open several xterm windows (a natural thing to do). It's made even worse by issue #1 above.
Also, startxwin.bat doesn't use -clipboard.
