Thanks.
I could not find that in XWin man pages,
but XWin -help showed it.
Though $DISPLAY is ineffectual to XWin,
I needed to set it since wmaker (or any xdm)
would need to know the display/screen
to use. I am a happy clam now.
I use wmaker because I don't like using multiwindow mode.
I am not good in dealing with disorganised clutter.
(the antithesis is rather an oxymoron - organised clutter).

Oh...
The DISPLAY variable has no effect on XWin. Try the following:
XWin :0.0
and
XWin :1.0
I can run several of these. But, I noticed that MultiWindow mode is
broken for anything but display :0.
